Merchiston Publishing, is delighted to present The Golden Hours – the second anthology In collaboration with the Edinburgh Literary Salon, the renowned Edinburgh writers’ group.

This collection follows on from the success of Lost, Looking & Found in celebrating bold new writing from Edinburgh and beyond.

The Golden Hours features poetry, fiction, and personal essays from both emerging writers and established authors, with original work by Philip Caveney, Mary Paulson-Ellis, Alycia Pirmohamed, Catherine Simpson, and many more.

Responding to the theme of ‘Gathering’, these pieces explore the strangeness of isolation and the strength of communities. From fortune-tellers to spectral plague-doctors, from an enchanted Scotland to the terrors of the Western Front, The Golden Hours moves through darkness and light, reflecting on the closure of dusk as well as the hopeful dawn.
