For writers

The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write: a man will turn over half a library to make one book.

Samuel Johnson

One of the best things you can do to develop your own writing is to read the Scottish Poetry Library poetry collections and resources.

• Open the Poetry Box for some great resources on starting to write, getting your poems published, and more.
• Explore SPL online resources
• Visit the SPL website for writing competitions, publication lists and tips.

The Scottish Poetry Library cannot help you to publish your work, but we can provide you with the books and poetry to lift your writing to a new level.
