Thanks Tony Clayton-Lea who is impressed that CWBF "manages the not inconsiderable feat of having an almost completely different line-up across poetry and fiction" despite being on at the same time as @Cuirtfestival buff.ly/448auD0 (And best of luck to all at Cúirt!)

Ann Luttrell and Liam Ronayne spoke with @ColSheridan about that very first festival and how it's grown in the last 20 years. buff.ly/4b5OdZ6

We know you love books. Do you also love music? Well, then, these events are perfect for you! Neasa's event is for schools but everyone is welcome to come along to You Spin Me Round on Thursday in @Triskelcork & to the launch of Ceoltóirí Chualann in @CorkCityLibrary on Friday!

Launches are a big part of a book's life - so much goes into writing & publishing them & they deserve a big party to send them off into the world! So many lovely new books being welcomed into the world makes us very happy indeed :) Mercier Press Books

In case you missed the latest Arts House on @corks96fm, you can listen back here buff.ly/3U1QQUA Lots of pieces with various people participating in this year's festival!

They say it takes a village! Putting together a book festival involves lots of people and lots of organisations. Thanks to all our partners for CWBF 2024.

You know we love writers. We also love photographers. Clare Keogh is our festival photographer this year and is always wonderful. The writers involved sent on headshots taken by even more wonderful photographers so thank you to them too!
