Publishing Scotland is the network body for the book publishing industry in Scotland, working to promote and protect the interests of its members, both nationally and internationally.

We celebrate our 50th year in 2024. 

We represent a wide range of publishers and suppliers - both print and digital. The 100+ membership includes major publishers such as HarperCollins, Canongate, Edinburgh University Press, Witherby and Mainstream as well as the publishing divisions of Scottish Natural Heritage, the National Galleries of Scotland, sportscotland and the National Museums of Scotland.

Other members are part of the network category and include companies and organisations affiliated to the publishing sector such as the Society of Authors in Scotland, the Booksellers Association, Nielsen Book, agents, designers and freelance editors.

We act as the voice and network for publishing, to develop and promote the work of companies, organisations and individuals in the industry, and to co-ordinate joint initiatives and partnership.

Publishing Scotland grew from the work of the Scottish Publishers Association (SPA), a trade association in existence for nearly 40 years. Representing more than 60 book and journal publishers, the SPA expanded its remit and changed its name in 2007 to reflect the changing nature of publishing.
