What a fantastic way to kick of Cobh Readers and Writers Festival for 2023. Our Chairman John Smith gave a stirring festival opening address to an intimate gathering before these wonderful local authors spoke about their writing, their books, and how they work their magic.

We’d like to thank our very special guests; Ann Wilson, Kemi Tijani, Trish Carlos, and Marion Horgan for providing us with such amazing in sight their work, the craft of writing, and their journey through writing of all types.

We’ll be creating, and sharing individual author posts to allow you share in the work of these incredible local authors and explore where you can find their work.

We’d like to thank Garvey’s Supervalu for their kind sponsorship of this event. This local store is always tremendous in their support for our community and the dozens of community groups like ours who seek to positively impact the lives of all those who call this wonderful place, the Great Island, home.
