Origins
[edit]Scotland Street Press was founded by Jean Fraser in 2014. Born in Edinburgh, Jean founded a theatre company and wrote and produced plays which toured world-wide. She worked in London as an arts journalist. As Jean Findlay she is published by Vintage[5] in the UK and Picador in the US[6].
Scotland Street in the Edinburgh New Town, where the company was founded, has long been a hub of literary activity and a rich literary history.
