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.

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!

Launches are a big part of a book's life - so much goes into writing & publishing them & they deserve a big party to send them off into the world! So many lovely new books being welcomed into the world makes us very happy indeed :) @MercierBooks

Thanks @TonyClaytonLea who is impressed that CWBF "manages the not inconsiderable feat of having an almost completely different line-up across poetry and fiction" despite being on at the same time as @Cuirtfestival buff.ly/448auD0 (And best of luck to all at Cúirt!)
