Gutter Issue 31 Launch

For more than fifteen years, Gutter magazine has published and promoted the very best writing from Scotland and beyond. Each issue contains a wealth of fabulous work, from new poets to prize-winning novelists.

We’re delighted to be hosting the launch of issue #31 of the magazine here in the bookshop. In this spring 2025 edition are scores of outstanding writers, including New Zealand’s most exciting poet, one of Scotland’s finest nature writers, and not just one but two winners of the Arthur C. Clarke Award. All of this alongside an interview with a BAFTA prize winner, new book reviews, and work by writers making their print debuts.

At this launch event you’ll hear from several of those featured in the issue, both poets and prose writers, and you can get your hands on a copy of this stunning magazine. The event will be hosted by Gutter’s prose reviews editor, Katie Goh.

This event will take place in the bookshop with an in-person audience, as well as a livestream for attendees watching from home.

In-person vouchers can be redeemed on the night of the event against a single copy of Gutter Issue 31 – we will have a list of attendees with vouchers to be redeemed. Please note that only one voucher can be redeemed per book. Livestream vouchers are valid until the day after the event and can be redeemed on our website against a single copy of Gutter Issue 31.
