Scott's first published short story, a fantasy novelette called "The Ethics of Elemental Servitude", appeared in The Worlds Within in March of 2023, and his short story, "A Gravedigger of the Deepholds" was nominated for a 2025 Pushcart Prize. Scott's short fiction has also appeared in Creepy, Suburban Witchcraft Arts & Literature Magazine, Dark Horses Magazine, and 365tomorrows.

His latest dark fantasy short story, "Down This End the Railway Station", will be published in Trembling With Fear later this year.

He's currently looking for publishers for a fantasy novella, The Solace of Things Long Forgotten, and a science fiction novelette, “All the Deserted Places”, and he's hard at work on two new short stories and a novella.
