A bit of a change from my usual Monday morning!! Thank you everyone at Simon & Schuster UK for such a lovely welcome.

While in London, I called in to see my wonderful agent Eleanor Birne & her team at PEW Literary. What a brilliant place! Great to meet Patrick Walsh who took this lovely photo! There's my wee book alongside brilliant debuts from Aimée Walsh Roz Dineen, Ferdia Lennon & more

😍

#TheInheritance is ready for preorders at all good bookshops! RT Please 🙏🏽

Thrilled to spot NESTING on here, thank you Jan Carson ScribnerUK

I'd like to add that the magical novels and stories of Jan Carson are an immersive experience at any time of year! But reading on location is highly recommended. I read THE RAPTURES while holidaying on the Antrim coast, and the story felt uncomfortably, powerfully real.

I am very proud to unveil the cover for the US edition of #NESTING which will be published by the mighty Algonquin Books on 18 February, 2025. Many thanks to designer Sara Woods, who handpainted this beautiful cover. #coverreeal #debutnovel PEW Literary @

Over 160 calls for submissions of #poetry #fiction #flash #nonfiction #art #photography & more - competitions, literary journals, residencies, bursaries etc - open or with deadlines in July 2024. Best of luck & pls share! thisiswordbox.com/wordbox-blog/w…

This new collection by Lucy Caldwell is simply luminous. Insightful, nuanced stories of love, loss and hope. Every story in #Openings is a masterclass in the short story form, written with such care and precision. I'll be thinking about these stories for a long time. Faber Books

I'm bowled over by this praise from one of the most talented writers at work today. Think I actually need to go and lie down for a minute 😍😭 Thank you Lucy Caldwell! Lucy Caldwell ScribnerUK Algonquin Books PEW Literary #NESTING

Just in case anyone needs a little bit of sunshine in their timeline today: meet our new pup Rosie.

"A woman who was once suspicious of feminism became a great feminist heroine by sticking to the truth as she knew it, by giving her all, every time. She did it by being magnificent." - Anne Enright #EdnaOBrien 💔 irishtimes.com/culture/books/…

I loved OPEN UP- one of my favourite books last year, so it's interesting to see we have been reading many of the same books, including Lucia Berlin, Gabor Maté, Michael Magee Wendy Erskine and many more. Great reading list right here 📚

This comment from an early reader made my day- wow 😭💓Thank you @Aoifs123 #NESTING Simon & Schuster UK ScribnerUK Sophie Missing Eleanor Birne

Look at this. The pure guilt. Rosie, did you just take all the socks off the radiator and start chewing them? Umm... no...

Exciting to see NESTING featured here in BookBrunch!

Bit of a change around here this week. I'm now on career break! Can't quite believe it. So grateful for this gift of time. I've set up an Instagram account where I may hopefully remember to post updates instagram.com/roisinodonnell… #WritingLife

Editing the last couple of details in my novel before sending off the final FINAL version, I spotted this little phrase of Portuguese. I'm sticking this above my desk, and posting here for anyone who needs this today too: vai ficar tudo bem (everything will be okay).

I m so thrilled with this beautiful cover for the US edition of NESTING. Thank you Chelsea Bieker Mary Beth Keane and Roddy Doyle for these kind words. For my American readers, B&N have a pre-order sale 4/9 - 6/9, Algonquin Books #BNPreorder #debutnovel

Each day when I pick my 5 year old up from school, she asks did I have a nice day and did I meet any new mummy friends (?!). Now I'm gonna say no, but I made some new writer friends 😁😁 SO happy to have been selected for this prestigious programme at the Irish Writers Centre 🙏
