Literary Lunch – Two for the Road

This event will be fuelled by two engaging individuals coming from very different aspects of the book world, Cónal Creedon and Mairéad Hearne. Mairéad  has made her mark as a highly regarded and extremely popular books reviewer and blogger over the last decade and Cónal is a writer and documentary maker who recently received the ‘Leonardo da Vinci World Award for Arts 2024’ from the World Cultural Council (WCC) in Switzerland.

Mairead and Cónal will explore the journey through books and writing they both undertook in hits engaging and warm-hearted event. A journey by accident, by default or was it predestined? Cónal has some strong opinions on this. They’ll talk about the advent of social media and the changes it has created in the book world and the rise of book bloggers as a vital cog in the wheel. They will share personal funny stories and cautionary tales of their respective adventures and insights into the difference between traditional publishing and the tidal wave of self-publishing which is now gaining huge respectability as Indie publishing.

A light lunch is served. Please inform the Hotel directly of any dietary requirements.

Tickets €30 from glór box office on 065 6843103 or online here.
