Delighted to have my short story Waterloo in this issue. It’s about shoes, bombs and strawberry bonbons… and The Wombles. Lurgan folk might recognise a few things. Ps it’s mostly a work of fiction.

I've been writing since childhood, wrote a 'book' & won a desk in the #Kellogs competition at 10yrs.
My academic work is published by @IMMAIreland BUT this publication of my piece WITH my artwork beats everything.

@Quinnfreelance Love this. Was given it as a gift a long time ago and cherish it.

Published in 1939, Michael McLaverty's evocative first novel, the Rathlin Island/pre-Partition Belfast-set Call my brother back, is one the great Northern Irish novels. Seamus Heaney hailed it as being 'among the verifying texts of modern Ulster writing'.

Totally agree @Quinnfreelance. We need to stop the rot of inequality on our stages. How will our careers flourish if we're not given the opportunities to showcase our talents? #theatre #WritingCommunity #stage #NorthernIreland

Good morning, #WomenWriters. Last week we visited Athens and I was in awe of these beautiful weathered pillars from the ruins of Hadrian’s library. Do you have a beloved library to tell us about? #BookTwitter #library

🚨 @KenyaRedCross is linked to @thebomahotels, where an anti-LGBT+ conference is set to take place. This violates its humanitarian principles! Demand they cancel the event now. #Kenya a.allout.org/s/Oz1Gl/
