Saltire Society Literary Awards

Not to be confused with Saltire Prize.

Scotland's National Book Awards, formerly known as the Saltire Society Literary Awards, are made annually by the Saltire Society. First awarded in 1937, they are awarded for books by Scottish authors or about Scotland, and are awarded in several categories.

History

[edit]

The first Saltire Society Book Award was given in 1937, the year after the Saltire Society was established. No awards were given after 1939 due to the Second World War, and the next award was made 1956. The History Book of the Year award was inaugurated in 1965. In 1982 sponsorship was obtained and since then the awards have been made annually. First books have been recognised since 1988, and in 1998 the award for Scottish Research Book of the Year was established.[1]

Until around 2021, the awards were known as the Saltire Society Literary Awards, subtitled Scotland's National Book Awards,[2] but then took on the subtitle as the name covering all of the literary awards that the society awards: Scotland's National Book Awards, and are known by this name as of May 2023.[3]

Description

[edit]

The awards seek to recognise books which are either by "living authors of Scottish descent or residing in Scotland," or which deal with "the work or life of a Scot or with a Scottish question, event or situation".[4]

As of 2022, the winner in each category receives an award created by artist Simon Baker of Evergreen Studios, based in Inverness; the winners of each literary award receive a cash prize of £2,000, while the winner of the Saltire Society Book of the Year is given a further £4,000.[5]

Categories

[edit]

A one-off Homecoming Book of the Year award was made in 2009 to celebrate the "Year of homecoming": the award was presented to American professor Donald Worster for his biography of John Muir, A Passion for Nature.[6] The shortlist consisted of The Bard: Robert Burns, A Biography, by Robert Crawford, The Testament of Cresseid and Seven Fables, by Seamus Heaney, The Lamplighter, by Jackie Kay and Piano Angel, by Esther Woolfson.

In 2014, the Scottish Literary Book of the Year was awarded,[7] but was replaced after only one year by separate awards for Fiction Book of the Year and Non-Fiction Book of the Year

As of 2022, the Saltire Society presents awards in seven categories for books, and three awards for publishers:[5]

  • Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year Award (formerly "Scottish Book of the Year")
  • Saltire Society First Book of the Year
  • Saltire Society History Book of the Year
  • Saltire Society Research Book of the Year
  • Saltire Society Poetry Book of the Year (introduced in 2014)[7]
  • Saltire Society Fiction Book of the Year (introduced in 2015)[8]
  • Saltire Society Non-Fiction Book of the Year (introduced in 2015)[8]
  • Saltire Society Book Cover Design of the Year
  • Saltire Society Publisher of the Year
  • Saltire Society Emerging Publisher of the Year (awarded in partnership with Publishing Scotland)

In 2019, a Lifetime Achievement Award was introduced, the inaugural prize going to Alasdair Gray.[9][10][11]

Subsequent winners of the lifetime achievement have been:

In addition, an annual student travel bursary is awarded to a creative writing graduate, and the Ross Roy Medal is awarded for the best PhD thesis on a subject related to Scottish literature.[14]
