Ficsean ùr 2025
Cothrom do sgrìobhadairean:
Cuireadh tagradh a chur a-steach
Pròiseact FICSEAN LUATH, ann an co-bhonn ri Comhairle nan Leabhraichean
Tha Luath Press air a bhith a’ foillseachadh ficsean Gàidhlig fon ainm ‘FICSEAN LUATH’ fad sia bliadhna a-nis. Tha an sreath ùr seo a’ dol bho neart gu neart.
Tha Luath toilichte cuireadh a thoirt do sgrìobhadairean ficsein ann an Gàidhlig na h-Alba: nobhailean, neo molaidhean air nobhailean, a chur a-steach airson foillseachadh ann an 2025 air adhart. Beachdaichidh sinn air cruinneachaidhean de sgeulachdan goirid Gàidhlig cuideachd. Ma tha thu nad ùghdar le nobhail Gàidhlig do inbhich (eadar 30,000 facal de dh’fhaid aig a’ char as giorra agus 100,000 facal aig a’ char as fhaide), bhitheamaid toilichte cluinntinn bhuat.
Tha sinn ag amas air co-dhiù 2 nobhail Ghàidhlig fhoillseachadh a h-uile bliadhna.
Cuideachd, mura h-eil an nobhail/cruinneachadh sgeulachdan Gàidhlig agad deiseil fhathast ach ma tha thu a’ miannachadh foillseachadh ann an 2025/2026 air adhart, bhitheamaid airson cluinntinn bhuat cuideachd. Cuir thugainn na th’ agad!
Cuir fios thugainn aig an t-seòladh-d gu h-ìosal ro Diluain 01 an Lùnastal 2024.
Thèid gach tagradh a chumail dìomhair. Bi mothachail: chan urrainn dhuinn gealltanas a thoirt dhut gun tèid d’ obair fhoillseachadh, agus tha am prògram foillseachaidh againn airson nobhailean Gàidhlig cuingealaichte gu 2-3 nobhail gach bliadhna. Mura tèid gabhail ri do thagradh, gu mì-fhortanach, chan urrainn dhuinn a dhol an sàs ann an deasbaireachd.

Submissions:
If you think you have written a book that may fit with Luath’s publishing programme, and would like to make a submission to us, please send:
A clear synopsis of up to 250 words
Which genre you would categorise it as (use our website categories as a guide)
Sample chapters or manuscript
A short biography
A pre-paid addressed envelope large enough for your manuscript to be returned in, should it be unsuccessful
Please try to ensure everything you send can be easily stored together – for example, held together with a paperclip or all put in a cardboard folder.
Please note that we cannot accept electronic submissions, only paper hard copies. Submissions or proposals sent by email will not be accepted.
If you do not enclose a pre-paid envelope, we will assume that you are happy for us to recycle your manuscript. You will still receive a letter notifying you of our decision. Do not send original copies or artwork. Luath Press cannot take responsibility for any items sent to us. We do aim to respond to everyone who submits a piece of work but if you have not heard from us after a year, you can assume your submission was unsuccessful.* We do not provide individual feedback.
* Please note that we work hybrid. The manuscript team are only in the office every other week, meaning that we are currently delayed in processing our submissions. We will announce on our socials when the waiting period has returned to normal.
