Publishing Scotland
Publishing Scotland is a trade association for the publishing industry in Scotland.
It was established in 1973 as the Scottish General Publishers Association with the support of the
public bodies. In April 2007, name Publishing Scotland was adopted, and the group's remit was extended to support individuals and companies working within the publishing industry, such as freelance editors, illustrators, and printing firms.[1]
On behalf of its members, Publishing Scotland attends
distribution service for trade publishers, charities and other commercial enterprises.[3]
The SPA formerly compiled a list of best-selling Scottish books, which was criticised in 2005 when a book was included in the top ten, despite not selling any copies.[4]
