As promised here's the reading list for my #NIWritingShowcase keynote on women's writing from Northern Ireland (video in tweet below)! Ordering these books is a great way to support Northern women writers, independent bookshops & your local library. Let us know how you get on! 📚 ImageImageImageImage
3/ Also featuring Anna Burns #Milkman (@FaberBooks); Maggie O'Farrell, This Must Be the Place (@TinderPress); @TaraWestBelfast @sheenawriter @ReassembledSA @jozebwrites. I discuss reissued texts by Caroline Blackwood (@nyrbclassics) Linda Anderson & Janet McNeill (@turnpikebooks)
4/ I also cover contemporary NI anthologies: The Female Line, ed. Ruth Carr (@HerselfPress / @AverillB); #BelfastStories eds. @paul_mc_veigh & @lisaunderneath (@Doirepress); #TheGlassShore ed. by @sineadgleeson; & #FemaleLines ed. by myself & Linda Anderson (@NewIslandBooks)!
5/ Featuring brand-new work - 3 story collections:
@beingvarious, Intimacies (@FaberBooks); @JanCarson7280
The Last Resort (@DoubledayUK) & @KennedyLoulou, The End of the World is A Cul de Sac (@BloomsburyBooks); &
@staceygreggles debut film Here Before (@BBCFilm & @NIScreen)!
6/ This is by no means a complete list of contemporary/reissued NI women's fiction, TV & film. It's a wee taste of some great work set in the North/with Northern characters to give you a bit of flavour. NI women are exploding in poetry, theatre & nonfiction too. Lots to discover!
7/ As always, I'm happy to chat with readers & answer questions. I'd love to hear from you about your new finds! I'm also available to discuss writing from the North of Ireland with book clubs, libraries, festivals & lecture/seminar series, so please feel free to get in touch! 📖
