So proud of you Sally! You’re inspiring me to dust my own blog off too and make a post

Thanks Andy! That’s so amazing to hear

After her best friend’s suicide, Leah stops pretending. She drinks to forget and wakes up in strangers’ beds with no memory of how she got there. Glasgow doesn’t care. Her eerie new neighbour does though. He moved in the day her friend died and knows things he really shouldn’t.

Now this is a story I didn't know I needed but now that I know it exists I need to read it immediately

The Secret History set in 1920s Edinburgh, PURSUIT OF LIES follows three university students in a race with the Americans to prove they have invented the world’s first lie detector. All they need is a murderer, but in their quest to detect lies, they lose sight of the truth.

Really been enjoying the #scotwriterpitch2025 posts today. Wishing every single one of you the best of luck. Seen a few stories that I absolutely want to read as soon as possible 😍

I'm serious, this sounds like the perfect read for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder through vibes, also tumblr blog within the plot? GENIUS!

SO WEIRD All teenage girls have phases, right? Although, they don’t all get arrested for trafficking human remains. Under investigation Lacey McDermott’s own Tumblr provides damning evidence against her. Her mother, Mel, cannot comprehend her teenage daughter or her blog. #scotwriterpitch2025

I actually didn't even know about BlueSky until this event! I've never been much of a twitter person to begin with (though I did have an account), so being on here is quite exciting!

Thank you. Good luck to you, too, Vee! I'm yet to check out your pitches!

My pitches are out in the world for #scotwriterpitch2025!
It's time to acknowledge how scarily difficult it is to cram your entire work into a 280-character elevator pitch.
Good luck to all the lovely writers in Scotland participating today!

When 18-yo Finn moves to Glasgow for art school, he seeks inspiration in neon-lit nights and raves—not in Professor Rowan, whose precise yet soulless art hides a dark past. As Finn pushes artistic limits, their worlds collide, and some truths are more dangerous than they seem.

Eren is an outcast. An orphan with glowing skin, shunned by the people of Ravenspire, where being different doesn't happen. When a stranger with the same eerie light arrives, secrets unravel. A deadly blight spreads, and Eren may be the one to stop it if–he survives the truth.

In the sky isles of Zephyria, Ori is a regular teenage boy who believes nothing exists beneath the clouds. But when an ancient evil is revealed, Ori is thrust to the surface, uncovering hidden truths and trusting unlikely allies on his journey. Can he embrace his destiny?
