About this Event
For this highly anticipated November Edinburgh Literary Salon, students Becca, Emma, Giulia, Hannah, Lidia, and Lydia will be taking over hosting duties and welcoming you to an all-Scottish evening.
In honour of Saint Andrew’s Day, this event will celebrate the traditions and stories from student writers, locals, and visitors to Scotland. Original works will be read aloud, and those in the audience will also get their chance to share their stories. If you are unable to attend in person and would like to participate, you can still join us on Zoom, and we will be happy to share your work!
Our prompt is simple: On St Andrew’s Day, you wake to find the ordinary world feels
touched by ancient stories, old symbols, and a hint of the fantastical. Write a 250-
word tale that explores this sudden shift.
Combining our passion for literature and writing, we hope to honour beautiful Scotland and Saint Andrew, even if he never set foot in Alba.
As usual the Outhouse are hosting us, and we will be in the upstairs Function Room. As we are doing a slightly different 'presentation' the timings have changed a little to allow more time for interaction.
There will be drinks available for purchase, and plenty of time before the presentation begins. We will open the Zoom and present prompts at 6.45 and will start our event at 7.15pm. Online attendees are welcome to hang around in the zoom for more informal chatter, which we can monitor. We’ll continue to mingle and chat, and if anyone has information to share, we will happily give you the floor.
