Writing and Literature

The Writing and Literature course at IT Sligo has proven to be exactly what I was looking for in my writing career. I don’t know where I would be without this course, and monthly readings at The Word.

Postcards and Memories

I started writing in secondary school, at the encouragement of English teachers. I specialise in fiction and poetry, though I have also tried my hand at creative non-fiction, playwriting, screenwriting, and film making. I often write on the topics of love, friendship, death, depression, and the LGBTQA+ community. I have written over 60 short stories and over 600 poems, and I’m currently working on my first novel.
