Info Session: Scotland - Edinburgh - Book Publishing in Scotland

Come and expand your book publishing knowledge to new international heights in the beautiful bookish city of Edinburgh! Scotland may be known for its kilts and bagpipes, but it also has a rich historical and contemporary book publishing scene. Scotland is home to approximately 105 publishing companies, including award-winning publishers such as Canongate and DC Thompson, and also home to bestselling authors past and present like J.K. Rowling, Kate Atkinson, Irvine Welsh, Alexander McCall Smith, Ian Rankin, Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Burns, and Robert Louis Stevenson. The first encyclopedia in English (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1768), the precursor company to HarperCollins (now one of the biggest trade publishers), and the largest international book festival in the world are all native to the city of Edinburgh.
