I've had the privilege to work with Zoe on one of her programs & learned a lot as an interviewee. The resulting program was brilliant. I still marvel at how Zoe condensed many hours of interviews (not just me) into an hour. Her course could open a new world for those who write.

Let's make more of it here. Another beautiful and talented woman's life snuffed out by violence.

Does anyone know if there is a tribute/plaque in Cork to Ethel Lilian Boole, the first Irish woman to sell books by the million?
She wrote the international bestseller 'The Gadfly'.

Anne Bonny set sail last night. @NualaNiC looks for women in her work who've been "marginalised, smudged, male gazed into our consciousness," and her books are, as Mia Gallagher said last night, voyages to discover, "what can make a person most truly themselves." Seaborne Ahoy!

@sineadgleeson @FaberBooks A genuine privilege to have met him and spent time in his home - he leaves a wonderful written legacy. RIP

What a great start to the life of this novel by @sineadgleeson. Huge turnout and massive sense of warmth in the room for Sinéad at last night's launch. Islands, sounds, nature, art and community - it all beckons. Grab a copy of Hagstone and settle in.
