The New Scottish Book Blog

Hello!

BooksfromScotland.com has been running for over a year now, and over that time we've seen interest in our site growing month-on-month, and book sales rising every month. We thought it was about time to open up BooksfromScotland.com a little, so that our readers can feed back their thoughts and ideas. We also want to be able to discuss our plans for the future of BooksfromScotland.com.

So, who am I? Well, I'm Liam Davison, and I've been the Editor of BooksfromScotland.com since the beginning. It's my job to arrange the features which appear on the site, to interview authors, to commission articles, to send out the bi-monthly emails - basically, to ensure that BooksfromScotland.com is kept up-to-date, lively, and interesting.

In this new blog, I'll be talking about what I'm reading, what ideas we have planned (some will turn into great articles, some may never happen!), what's exciting me in the world of Scottish literature. I'll also talk about some of the decisions we make on a daily basis - like, what is , exactly, a Book from Scotland?

I'm also hoping to open up this blog to other organisations working in the Scottish literary sector - see our favourite links for examples.

Finally, I hope that this new Scottish Book Blog will be interesting, useful, and help stimulate your interest Scottish books, reading, and writing.

Best wishes,

Liam
