We are delighted and relieved that Maxim Znak, author of The Zekameron has been released from Prison in Belarus. Read about the story of its journey on our website.

The Zekameron is a collection of 100 short stories charting life in prison from author Maxim Znak. Znak's stories in different voices depict prison in present day Belarus. Banality and brutality vie with the human ability to overcome oppression.

CALLING ALL EMERGING ILLUSTRATORS!

The team at Scotland Street Press are on the lookout for an artist to illustrate our forthcoming children’s book: MY DAD BROUGHT BEAVERS BACK, by Adam Ramsay.

Aimed at 3-6 year olds, the book tells the true story about how Adam’s parents reintroduced beavers to Scotland  - and played a wider role in their return across the UK; and explains for young audiences how beavers help restore wetland ecosystems. 

If you are interested in working with us and illustrating this delightful book, we would love to hear from you!

Follow the link in our bio to see how you can submit your work for consideration.
