Synopsis

Gutter magazine is the outstanding independent literary magazine publishing fiction and poetry from writers born and living in Scotland. The work you’ll find here is in turns diverse, delicate and dangerous. But with contributions from every corner of Scotland, all the major countries of Europe, Canada, both coasts of the US, the Antipodes and the Far East, it is, most of all, global in attitude. Gutter doesn’t hold to any particular political outlook but wholeheartedly believes in the power of the creative imagination to challenge the status quo. Since its inception Gutter has been first to publish work from a wide range of acclaimed emerging novelists and poets including Pippa Goldschmidt, Deborah Andrews, Barry Gornell, Kirsty Logan, Helen Sedgwick, Mary Paulson-Ellis and many others. It’s a proving ground where emerging writers can first find an audience, rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in Scottish literature.
