Welcome to Merchiston Publishing,
the in-house publishing imprint based at Edinburgh Napier University.
Merchiston Publishing is the imprint of the postgraduate Publishing course based at Edinburgh Napier University.
It is managed by Avril Gray, Associate Professor in Publishing, and powered by a dedicated team of students on our MSc Publishing postgraduate degree.
We publish in two areas, Scottish Classics and Books about Books and our publications are available in print, ebook and/or online. We do not accept unsolicited submissions. We do invite collaboration on publishing projects and have worked with a variety of private, public and third sector organisations.

Our Scottish Classics series includes three areas of community engagement:
-
Books to Bairns
-
Books behind Bars
-
Reaching Readers Beyond the Margins, including Napier Big Read
These books are edited, designed, created, published by our MSc Publishing staff and students, and distributed (donated) to schools, hospitals, prisons and other institutional libraries.
The outreach work being done by the students is an excellent way of showcasing
their talents as well as bringing Scottish literature to the attention of a whole new generation of readers.
