Literary Producer Event

About This Event

Programmed by Children's Books Ireland with the support of Foras na Gaeilge, this Literary Producer Event features a panel of six professional children's book authors and illustrators — Richie Conroy, Sadhbh Devlin, Neil Sharpson, Tristan Rosenstock, Andrew Whitson and Máire Zepf — in conversation with former Laureate na nÓg, Patricia Forde. The panelists represent the top Irish language publishers in Ireland and will highlight the range of books now available for children and young people, and the breadth of artists delivering readings, workshops and other interactive events. If you are a festival, library, or bookshop programmer, this event is for you. The session covers younger audiences (0–10 yrs) from 10:30am to 11:30am, and older children (10–14+ yrs) from 11:30am to 12:30pm. Aimed at those without a working knowledge of Irish and delivered primarily in English. Refreshments will be served after the event. Part of a collaborative project between Children's Books Ireland and Foras na Gaeilge, supported by the Love Leabhar Gaeilge initiative, in partnership with Dublin Book Festival.
