novel fair

 
       

The 20 winners of the Irish Writers' Centre Novel Fair Competition have been chosen by the competition judges. Our thanks to them for taking on the difficult job of reading and selecting work from excellent writers. The Centre received over 570 entries, a figure which demonstrates the vast number of people writing novels in Ireland today. The standard was incredibly high and the decision was obviously not easy.

Congratulations from all at the Irish Writers' Centre to our 20 winners, we look forward to seeing you in March. We would also like to highlight a further 15 entries which have been highly commended by the judges. To view a list these 15 writers click here>>>>
