The quality of stories for both 274 Miles and Call of the Isles makes me feel honoured to be a part of Tantallon Tìr, and I could not be more proud than seeing this book released today!

Ullapool author chosen from 1000 entrants to feature in new anthology ross-shirejournal.co.uk/news/ullapool-…

Nice coverage in @Rossnews about the new anthology out today from @Tantallon_2001 Call of the Isles is available from many excellent bookshops including @UllapoolB and @ablekids

‘Call of the Isles’ has sirens, cults, dystopia, family issues, assault, Scottish politics, emigration, missing people, loss, love, moral decay, murder, drug trips, dementia, and a whole lot more. Short story writing at its finest. And it’s out now! tantallontir.com/product/call-o…

@ricky_ballboy @JohnGerardFagan @Tantallon_2001 Similar story here @ricky_ballboy Two memoirs about growing up in Scotland in the 1970s and 1980s published by a U.S. press. I echo your thanks to all @Tantallon_2001

@JohnGerardFagan @Tantallon_2001 Sorely needed and much appreciated. My short story that’s most pertinent to contemporary Scotland – after my contribution to Call of the Isles, of course – found a publisher on its first submission to the U.S. No takers here 🤷‍♂️ Thanks to all at @Tantallon_2001 for their efforts.

More than a few people told us we were daft to start a publishing house in 2025. A sinking ship that’s doomed to fail. But we’re going strong. We’ve opened up to submissions and our second book is out tomorrow. Scotland has enough brilliant writers to prove any doubters wrong.

If you’ve missed any, you can catch up on all our Call of the Isles author spotlights here 👇 tantallontir.com/2026/03/29/aut…

One of the best books I've read in the past 5 years. Get it while the getting's good

6 days until this magnificent book is out in the world.

Call of the Isles is out a week today!

Submissions will open next week on April 30th. If you are a Scottish writer/based in Scotland or Scottish by inclination we’d love to read your work. tantallontir.com/blog/

Call of the Isles has just 2 weeks left until it’s released! Well worth the wait. @Tantallon_2001 @mikey7fagan

@Tantallon_2001 Totally get this - 'Writing novels is a kind of madness. Each novel is a bit like an alien virus that overtakes me as its host' - great interview @neilcocker101

“Writing novels is a kind of madness. Each novel is a bit like an alien virus that overtakes me as its host, and I’m trapped in that fever dream for a few years trying to find a way out.” Todays Call of the Isles spotlight is on the brilliant Amsterdam Rampant author Neil Cocker @neilcocker101 tantallontir.com/author-spotlig…

If you’re looking for a good Scottish island novel, @LGThomson1 ‘Erosion’ is set on Handa, the same island as the one in her ‘Call of the Isles’ story. 10 people are stranded on a remote island and that soon becomes 9. How many will survive? amazon.co.uk/Erosion-L-G-Th…

@Tantallon_2001 Thank you 😊

@conn7492 @Tantallon_2001 Thank you 🙏

@Tantallon_2001 @LGThomson1 Great interview, really enjoyed reading it 👍

“Publishing is largely a closed shop and it’s frustrating to see some of the dross that gets published and heavily promoted.” Today’s Call of the Isles spotlight is on the tremendous LG Thomson. @LGThomson1 tantallontir.com/author-spotlig…

“The short story remains the ultimate test for any writer however: how to say what you need to say concisely and not waste the reader’s time.” Today’s Call of the Isles spotlight is on one of Scotland’s best - Douglas Thompson. @UrbanSurrealist tantallontir.com/author-spotlig…

@JohnGerardFagan When Carl used AI...

When a writer uses AI...

That buzz you get when your books (including the ones you have a story in) are facing outward on the shelf 😍 Fair to say I enjoyed my recent visit to Ullapool Bookshop @UllapoolB @Tantallon_2001 @slicesofanxiety
