Society of Authors in Scotland

On joining the Society, members living in Scotland automatically become members of the Society of Authors in Scotland (SoAiS) and receive all SoAiS mailings. Despite not having a separate office, the SoAiS organises a varied and busy schedule of activities through a committee of volunteers. Activities of the Group are reported in our journal, The Author.

The SoAiS has partnerships with Publishing Scotland, Scottish Book Trust, and the Scottish Poetry Library. The SoAiS is a network member of Publishing Scotland, and together the two organisations have produced a “good practice” Covenant between authors and publishers in Scotland. The SoAiS is also represented at meetings of the Literature Forum and the Scottish Parliamentary Cross Party Group on Culture and Media.

Membership Benefits

Members of the SoAiS can take advantage of a number of additional and exclusive benefits, including:

  • A full and varied calendar of events
  • Discounts specifically for Scottish members
