Popped into Trinity for an editing workshop as part of LitSoc’s Litfest week. (Arrive for the workshop, stay for the chats about fanfiction and the cups of tea…)
YA fiction reviewed for February in the Irish Times includes novels by Gita Trelease (magic during pre-revolutionary France!), Alyssa Sheinmel (a gorgeous psychological thriller), Angie Thomas (her impressive follow-up to THUG, Sharon Dogar (Mary Shelley!) & Kiersten White (a new Buffy-verse series begins!).
Banshee is open for submissions until the end of March! Also gets a mention in this British Vogue article about current Irish women’s writing.
March & April creative writing courses at the Big Smoke Writing Factory are open for booking now.
I visited Galway to read at their monthly Over The Edge reading series & it was delightful. Great writing-community vibe but also a nice balance of featured readers & open-mic slots. And excellent chats after, the sort that leave you feeling ‘like a real writer!’ for at least 24 hours.
