Save Our Website!

In the spirit of literary endeavour, here is a meta-post on our website all about our website! This is a short plea from the Salon Steering Group.

As an informal community group run by volunteers, bringing together people from all strands of the literary scene in Edinburgh and beyond, the Edinburgh Literary Salon doesn’t receive any public funding. Our activities are financed through the generosity of individuals as well as our own projects.

We get a slow trickle of cash through donations, books sales, and our Buy us a Coffee scheme, but large expenses such as subscriptions for Zoom, Mailchimp, and Wix are becoming increasingly hard to finance. We need £360 per year to run this site an essential tool for marketing, bookselling, and reaching out to our literary community.

Each monthly Salon event is listed on our Events & News page where we also post reviews. You can read about our publishing collaborations on Anthologies & Projects, and purchase copies of our anthologies from our Shop. There is a Contact Us form, and we send a couple of mailshots per month with our events and other information.

We wish to keep registration to all our events free, and we always invite financial contributions. However, we need to boost our coffers as we currently can't afford our next Wix subscription, so we currently have a Go Fund Me page set up.

If you would like to help the Salon keep this website, please give what you can.
