    Hi Louise, Thank you so much for the info. I did a post on the competition, and gave your post a plug on my literary blog, Love for Beginners.

    I hope RTÉ publish lots of the entries and not just the winning entry. T'would be great to see some new Irish literary talent emerge from this comp. Warmest Wishes, Mary

    Thank you for posting this. There seems to be very little by way of official publicity coming from Penguin or RTE. I wonder if it's alright to send more than one entry.

      Hi Scribbler - Yes, it's my understanding that you can send more than one entry. There is no submission fee, so go for it! Louise

      Louise, Rich from the Manor Books event again here. (Just so you know!) I might do a post about it. (Busy Paddy's weekend though.) Thanks so much for the evening. Always great to learn new stuff. Lots to take in and use - something significant every 1K words, character and plot, all great material to apply. All very helpful. I'll let you know. Read the first 3 pages of The Doll's House. Uncanny ability to wear the research lightly while telling the story. Powerful stuff, Louise. Hat tip. Thanks so much for the signature!
