#2014 Readwomen - Red Line Festival Civic Theatre Tallaght Friday 17th October

Are literary women writers undersold and undervalued by the current literary universe?

In 2014 a small American literary journal vowed to cover women writers for a full year. Then, artist Joanna Walsh’s #readwomen2014 project became a popular meme on social media.

As part of the RED LINE festival, you can join three Hennessy award winning writers, Valerie Sirr, Geraldine Mills and Eileen Casey in this lively debate as they assess and redress male writers’ dominance in the literary world. 

The event is facilitated by local writer Sue Hassett.

RED LINE BOOK FESTIVAL 14th - 19th October!!!

This festival has been going from strength to strength, and indeed, has been shortlisted in the 2014 Chambers of Ireland Award for Excellence in Local Government. It's a terrific festival with lots happening, so check out the full programme HERE 

Last year I took part in Lady Killers at the Civic Theatre in Tallaght with Alex Barclay, Arlene Hunt, Joanne Richardson and Susan Condon, and it was a great night.

The festival kicks off on Tuesday the 16th September with a pre-festival coffee morning, and I'm delighted to be a guest speaker at the event. I'll be talking about the importance of libraries and the literary and cultural vibrancy in South Dublin, along with a short reading from LAST KISS......

I hope many of you take part in the festival this year, and make it another memorable year!!

A Killer of an Evening
