Returning for its third year, Stories and Scran celebrates the dynamic and thought-provoking work created by participants in Citizen, EIBF’s long-term creative programme offering local people a platform to explore identity and place.
Enjoy a snack and a diverse showcase of readings, stories and short films from communities in North Edinburgh and Musselburgh.
I’m delighted to be reading a short story at tonight’s Citizen event. Big question for tonight is: wellies or flip-flops with the dinner jacket?

I’ll also be reading LOST, my contribution to the Scotland’s Stories Now project, tonight at 5pm in the On This Day slot:
Scotland’s Stories Now: On This Day
This year, EIBF asked people across Scotland – of any age, background or ability – to submit their own stories responding to the prompt ‘On This Day’, to build a fascinating portrait of Scotland today.
Every day at 17:00 different storytellers from around the country share their work. Join us to hear their illuminating stories and have a go at writing your own.
Supported by EventScotland as part of the Year of Stories 2022.
