New Writing Dundee is proud to announce the launch of its fifth anthology featuring original work from award winning authors as well as pieces by brand new talent. This year’s invited author list highlights some of the best writing in the English speaking world today.

Poetry from the Costa Book of the Year prize winner Christopher Reid will be included, as well as work from the 2009 Saltire Society Literary Award winner Robert Crawford. A short story by Adam Mars-Jones originally meant for inclusion in Pilcrow -- his most recent novel which was short-listed for the Encore Award - will be featured together with a short collection of poetry from the award winning New Zealand poet, Vincent O’Sullivan. American writer Elisa Segrave has contributed excerpts from her memoirs. Local authors Andrew Murray Scott and Kenneth Steven have also contributed, plus many more noted guests.

New Writing Dundee is also happy to present an interview with the Scotsman Literary Editor, David Robinson, regarding his views on fiction, journalism and prose that can cross boundaries between the two.

Additionally, included in the 2010 edition are pieces from new and previously unpublished authors. This year New Writing Dundee received around 600 submissions, and narrowed down the work to forty pieces of poetry and prose. A complete list of those in this year’s publication is listed below.

The book was launched at the DCA on the 22nd of April, with a reading by Robert Crawford.
