Gutter is Scotland's leading literary magazine, publishing new fiction, essays and poetry, twice a year (February and August, for those keeping track). Each issue aims to showcase work that surprises, challenges, and enlivens readers, all by emerging and established writers from Scotland and beyond. Expect to find ambitious, diverse, and international voices expressing the importance of the written word.
The latest issue is fresh from a makeover – a new cover design, format, and new additions to the editorial team – and celebrating its 15th year in publication. The cheerful yellow paperback contains the usual broad selection of literature, this time with an informal theme of ‘the necessity of writing.’ Many authors this issue express how essential writing is to them, almost a compulsion, as a way to process their experiences and connect with others.
