per nom. In addition, I tried but was unable to verify the claim in the "He has been shortlisted for two of 2009's top bursaries for Scottish fiction" contained in the opening paragraph. The reference given there is to the main webpage of the Scottish Book Trusthttp://www.scottishbooktrust.com/. I did several searches on that website and could not find any info there related to the above claim. A self-published book, to be released in 2009, does not inspire more confidence in the notability of this case. Also, the article says "His time-travel suicide novel Why Be Blue? is under consideration for the Dundee Book Prize 2009". The reference given is this link http://www.dundeebookprize.com/pressdundeebook.htm which does not mention Watt at all, but is a general description of the prize. So apart from notability concerns, there are  issues here as well
