Bishopstown writers showcase suburban talent at Cork Culture Night

Five authors — all of them with strong links to Bishopstown — are to appear at a special evening dedicated to writing and writers in the Cork suburb as part of the city’s Culture Night celebrations on September 18.

The Cork Writers Emerging and Emerged event aims to encourage wannabe writers and highlight the success of the Wilton and Bishopstown Writer’s Groups, and the Bishopstown Library, in fostering the talent of so many local authors, says Breda Hassett, Executive Librarian at Bishopstown Library.

“The five authors will be talking about their recently published works and their writing experiences, in terms of their inspiration, their motivation and their love of the written word,” said Ms Hassett.
