About Our Literary Advent Calendar 2020
So many incredible books by Irish authors and authors living in Ireland were released this year, without the usual fanfare of festivals and launches. We’re delighted to celebrate a small selection of these authors here and we’ve invited twenty-four writers to submit a short video reading from their new books.
Each day’s video will also go live on YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook.
