An absolute summer highlight at the fabulous @westcorkliteraryfestival! 📚

It was my privilege to moderate the incredible “Everyone Started Singing” anthology showcase. An immense thank you to my phenomenal panel of readers— editor Jenny Mitchell (@jennymitchellgo), Imasha Costa (@imasha_c), Gerry Murphy, and Daragh Fleming (@daraghfleming)—for their beautiful words and making my job as host such a joy! 🎤✨ West Cork Literary Festival was its customary whirlwind of talent!

So great to catch up with Molly Twomey (@mollytwomey), Alice Barry (@alicbarry) Patrick Holloway (@hollowaywriter2), Damien Donnelly (@thestormsjournal) Catherine Ronan (@catherineronan_), and Seán McNicholl (@smcnicholl) and so many more while we sweltered away in the heatwave! ☀️ Thank you so much to Eimear O’Herlihy and to the festival team for the invitation and for putting together such a magical program. I only wish I could have been there all week.

Thank you to the fabulous Bantry Bookshop for all they do, and for continuing to stock The Waxed Lemon @thewaxedlemon 🍋🙏🙏 and thank you to the fantastic @bloomingbaristas for the wonder ice-cream and reprieve from the heat!🙏🙏
Already counting down to next year!
