SCRATCH BOOKS

At Scratch Books, we are dedicated to the art of short stories. 

​​​

Watch out for two amazing books this year, Failed Summer Vacation by Heuijung Hur - translated from Korean by Paige Aniyah Morris - and Saints by Tim MacGabhann.

Our first books -  the Reverse Engineering series - bring together the best modern short stories with a discussion by each writer on their instincts, processes and ideas behind it. 

In 2024, we published The Unreliable Nature Writer by Claire Carroll and Duets, featuring Eley Williams, Nell Stevens, Jon McGregor, Gurnaik Johal and many others.​​
