Scottish Book Week

Book Week Scotland is an annual celebration of books and reading that takes place across the country in November. During Book Week, people of all ages and walks of life come together to share the joy of reading. Together with Scottish Book Trust’s curated programme, our partners deliver hundreds of unique, exciting events and activities that celebrate the transformative power of reading. They are joined in this celebration by Scotland’s authors, poets, playwrights, storytellers and illustrators to bring a packed programme of events and projects to life.

Due to ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19, Book Week Scotland 2022 may feature a blended programme of events and activities. Organisations can apply for funding to put on digital events, community activities or in-person events (if permitted in November 2022).

If your organisation thinks it could put on a great Book Week event or activity, why not apply to become a partner in 2022? For more information on eligibility and how to apply, see our information on the Book Week Scotland 2022 Fund, Emerging Programmers Fund, and funding conditions.
