Scottish Books International works on behalf of
the literature sector in Scotland and is dedicated to the
international promotion of books, writers, festivals and
organisations.
Launched at the 2019 Frankfurt Book Fair, Scottish Books
International takes a strategic and co-ordinated approach to
showcasing and championing Scotland's writers, publishers and
festivals overseas. The service identifies and progresses
opportunities to increase the visibility of writers, publishers,
festivals and organisations, and builds relationships with key
partners in Scotland and overseas.
Scottish Books International is a project jointly owned and
managed by Publishing Scotland and the Edinburgh
International Book Festival.

Author International Travel Fund
This fund has been established by Scottish Books International
to support writers who have been invited overseas to promote their
work. To date, it has supported 13 Scottish writers to travel to
Australia, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, and
more. For full details, visit this page.
In the light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we have
regretfully taken the decision to suspend the Author International
Travel Fund until later in 2021, when we will, again, review the
situation.
