ALL IRELAND POETRY DAY - THE GLOSS

For All Ireland Poetry Day today, The Gloss (free with the Irish Times) has an article on poetry by Antonia Hart.  Myself, Nessa O'Mahony, Mary O'Donnell and newly crowned Patrick Kavanagh Award Winner, Helena Nolan, are all quoted.

WOMEN WRITERS WRITING WOMEN UPDATE

Last month I posted about Nessa O'Mahony's new blog for women writers here.

The blog end of it hasn't taken off yet, but for those of you on Facebook, the Facebook group HAS taken off and is worth a look. It too is called Women Writers Writing Women and there are now 37 members and, so far, 2 topics up for discussion: 'Influential Women (Writers)' and 'Rooms of Our Own'. It's worth a look for tips on new writers and general sharing about writing.

NEW BLOG FOR WOMEN WRITERS

Writer / teacher / journalist and long-time editor of Electric Acorn, Nessa O'Mahony has set up a new blog for women: Women Writers Writing Women. It's literally brand new so support her by having a look and maybe making a comment.

She says: "I'm hoping to create a blog where women writers can share work and respond to the work of others. Please join.".
