Three people standing together at an award event. They’re all holding circular glass awards and dressed in jackets. The man in the middle is smiling toward the camera, while the two on either side are angled slightly toward him. The setting seems to be indoors, possibly in a wooden-paneled library.

For the week that's in it . . .

Still thinking about #MartinWaddell & his lifetime achievement award at last night’s #APIBA #IrishBookAwards . I was not familiar with him, but should have been, having devoured his Catherine Sefton books as a child & read his picture books to my own kids. A charming person & accomplished author!

A deserved winner. Clair Wills' book is a beautifully written and brave book, where she carefully and thoughtfully explores an Irish culture of shaming, secrets, and silence. Congratulations to her. #IrishBookAwards #books

The woman from the earlier picture is standing at a table. She is listening intently to an older gentleman who has a picture book open before him. He is Martin Waddell and he is about to sign Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?

No YA does not cover all Science Fiction, fantasy or horror books. Irish publishers aren't interested in Genre fiction and so Writers have to go else where. #irishbookawards 💙📚
