  • Scottish Book Trust - Live Literature Funding

    Created: 21/01/2025
    News/Events Category: Funding and Finance


    Grants are available to help bring literature alive with an author, poet, playwright, graphic novelist, or storyteller visit. They like to support interesting, imaginative sessions which show a commitment to the promotion and enjoyment of reading and writing.

    Activities should take place before 31 March 2025.

    As funding is limited, a maximum of five sessions can be requested in a single application. The panel will only award the maximum five sessions if they feel the request is justified by an application.

    Who can apply

    You can apply for funding if:

    • You are based in any part of Scotland
    • You are applying on behalf of a school, library, community group, arts organisation, local festival, reading/writing group, hospital, prison, or an organisation working with adults or children with disabilities
    • You intend to work with an author listed on the Live Literature Author Directory
    • You are planning a digital activity such as a remotely delivered workshop or reading, a podcast recording, a short written resource, etc.

    How to apply

    Apply online via the Scottish Book Trust website.

    The closing date for applications is Friday 14 February 2025.
