Glasgow Writers
There is an impressive and vibrant literary scene in Glasgow with book launches, writers’ workshops, spoken word events and a variety other other bookish activities taking place every night of the week. I highlight these events on the site in my What’s On in Glasgow Books, Talks and Poetry Events, however, given the abundance of writing talent in the city, I thought it was time to showcase Glasgow’s Writers.
