Such a great session with @SamBlakeBooks this morning in @CorkCityLibrary. We love that one of her pieces of advice to budding writers was 'You need to read'. Also love all the hands up from eager TY students!

Thanks to @ClaremKeogh for the great photos.

[Cork World Book Fest @WorldBookFest]

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!

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.

Ceoltóirí Chualann: “I haven’t heard anything as revolutionary in Irish music since they stopped playing,” says Peadar Ó Riada, whose new book documents the groundbreaking work of his father Seán Ó Riada's band. https://t.co/AdbsXFVvOK @MercierBooks @WorldBookFest @Peadaroriada
