Grateful 🙏 “A deft and moving tale of love and loss on life’s cold margins, in which character is fate, and landscape is character.” Ed O’Loughlin, Giller Finalist & Man Booker Prize nominee

Why not follow Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo for updates and news on the ATU Sligo Writing and Literature Program! Full disclosure: I lecture there. That being said, it is as stated, "a unique three-year BA (hons) course, available both on-campus and online". itsligo.ie/courses/ba-hon…

Two of many good reasons to study Writing & Literature at ATU Sligo: we have dedicated studio spaces for our student writers; and those spaces have pretty good views!

We'd like to share some of the work done by our current third-year students, starting with Zuzana Podolova. Zuzana has developed a distinctive practice combining visual imagery and the written word over the last couple of years. See more of her work here: zp-portfolio1.my.canva.site/alexithymia

Excellent work here from Zuzana Podlova, a third year student at Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo.

A new academic article from ATU Writing & Literature lecturer Tim Hannigan. Our lecturing team produces a formidable range of publishing outputs: creative work in diverse genres - from poetry to narrative nonfiction - and original scholarly research which informs our teaching.

Many congratulations to Tim Hannigan doing Cornwall and Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo ATU Sligo proud 👏👏

It's almost time for this month's edition of #TheWord. Our own Tim Hannigan will be chatting to the great Manchán Magan at Sligo Central Library Sligo Libraries on Wednesday evening. A free event, with live music and an open mic to follow. sligolibrary.ie/the-word-for-m…

Very much looking forward to chatting to Manchán Magan on Wednesday - about land, language, lore & more - for this month's edition of the Word at Sligo Central Library. If you're not in the vicinity, you can tune in online. Sligo Libraries Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo sligolibrary.ie/the-word-for-m…

I think about this book all the time. If you haven't read it, welcome to a contemporary Irish classic #MinorMonuments by Ian Maleney

This should be a great read. Tim lectures now on Writing & Lit Program Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo. Wondering if he's going to lead me down some off-beaten tracks around my old haunt of Porthleven (I lived in a fisherman's cottage looking over the harbour). Mikey-boy 💙 (Agent enquiries always welcome) remember?

It this doesn't make you want to write poetry, there's no hope for you at all.

Look at this beautiful thing! Scrimshaw III (which launches today), entirely edited and curated by our brilliant 3rd-year ATU Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo students (also, we've a pretty decent view from the office...)

If you've ever wanted to study literature or creative writing, but aren't able to join a campus-based course, then our online programme is for you! A three-year, full-time BA, delivered entirely online. Mature students are very welcome. itsligo.ie/courses/bachel…

I'm a bit biased, but this really is a great programme. Literary studies and creative writing practice properly integrated in a single course, high contact hours and a great sense of camaraderie amongst the online cohorts...

Tonight at The Word at Sligo Libraries (in conjunction with Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo ATU Sligo ) Cecily Gilligan, author of Cures of Ireland, in conversation with Niamh Mac Cabe Beautiful traditional singing from Aoife Hammond. And there on the shelf beside me, Godwin by Joseph O'Neill!

I'm VERY excited to be chatting with the wonderful Nuala O'Connor Nuala O'Connor on the 29/01 at another great 'The Word' event in Sligo Library Sligo Libraries (in collaboration with the Writing & Literature Programme Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo at ATU Sligo ATU Sligo) 🧐🕵️‍♀️ sligolibrary.ie/a-new-year-wit…

Enjoyed the chats/readings with the great Nuala O'Connor Nuala O'Connor in Sligo Library Sligo Libraries last week, Nuala was so generous & reflective with her responses. 🧐 In association with the Writing & Literature programme Writing and Literature @ ATU Sligo at ATU ATU Sligo youtu.be/seApKy0z2Cg?fe…
