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.
This issue loosely revolves around various notions of change—a passenger turns into seal in the backseat of a taxi, a marriage is affected by a missing limb, time transforms the landscape of Dundee, the effects of postpartum psychosis, and more. Alongside the usual selection of fiction, poetry, interviews and reviews, you'll also find work commissioned by the the Alasdair Gray Archive, a free public resource established in the spirit of the acclaimed Scottish writer.

At Work With Colin Begg: ‘We aim to be a magazine in the original, literal sense of a storehouse, offering readers a twice-yearly playlist of the best new fiction and poetry from emerging and established writers from Scotland and beyond.’
