Indy Tales in details

Indy Tales is an online library of short stories and poems in favour of Scottish independence.

As a normal independent country, Scotland could share its wealth and resources more equally between its people and play a small but vital part in helping create a fairer and more sustainable world. 

Fiction and poetry can engage people in a way that political discourse, news reports and bloggers’ opinion articles cannot. My hope is that the short stories and poems in Indy Tales will make potential voters feel more positive towards Scottish independence and lead them to vote ‘Yes’ in the next referendum.

I will be uploading a story or poem every day from today (April 2) until the Holyrood election on May 6. Please feel free to share them as widely as possible.

You can also contribute your own stories or poems by sending them to indytales2021@gmail.com

  • Stories should be between 100 and 314 words long. (No prizes for guessing the significance of those numbers.)
  • Indy Tales is a not-for-profit initiative so by contributing your work, you are renouncing your rights to royalties or any other form of payment.
