Submit a Reading

Readings from The Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels:

Back in 2009 we celebrated the completion of the publication of The Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels by asking Scott aficionados to read a short extract of a Sir Walter Scott publication that would not only convince others of his greatness but would also impel them to read him too.

Now in 2026 we are re-visiting this project and opening it up to the wider public.

Here you can use this form to Submit a Recording of yourself reading Scott for us to consider including on the Club website.

Guidelines:

• It must be unique. (Please check the existing recordings to ensure you aren't doing one that has already been done).
• Ideally read from the Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels (EEWNs) -- though not essential.
• Choose a passage that is between 4 and 12 mins. (though it can be longer if necessary)
• Please tell about the text and what it means to you. 
• Use the highest available audio quality settings (where possible).
• You can video yourself and upload to YouTube if easier (we can rip the audio from there)
