The Scottish Writers’ Centre is a countrywide resource, which supports national writers and promotes Scotland’s vibrant literary culture. Operated solely by volunteers, the SWC is therefore by writers, for writers – the organisation provides a space for writers to meet, share ideas and experiences about the craft, and learn from those further advanced. Central to this cause are the facilities provided by, and the activities arranged with the support of, Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts (where the SWC is currently based).
