THE BROWNSBANK WRITING FELLOWSHIP

Supported by the Scottish Arts Council and South Lanarkshire Council, the Brownsbank Fellowship has been operating since 1993. It is open to any registered writer, whose remit is to provide 18.5 hours per week encouraging and supporting writing in the community. The SAC funding in the package is to enable the writer to pursue his/her own work. So far, five writers have held the post: James Robertson, Matthew Fitt, Gerry Cambridge, Aonghas MacNeacail and Linda Cracknell.
