Honoured to be awarded The Stowe Story Labs / Galway Film Fleadh Marketplace Fellow 2023

I want to share massive appreciation to Stowe Story Labs, Screen Ireland and the Galway Film Fleadh for awarding me the ‘Stowe Story Labs/Galway Film Fleadh Marketplace Fellow 2023’, and also huge respect to the talented screenwriters, producers, speakers and supportive mentors I had the opportunity to work with and be inspired by during the inaugural Connemara Writers Retreat 2022. I’m excited to be awarded this amazing opportunity and to be moving forward with my feature screenplay, IONA’S HOUSE.

I would encourage more Irish screenwriters to apply for the many wonderful opportunities that Stowe Story Labs currently offer. Through their partnerships with Screen Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen and the Galway Film Fleadh, they provide support and encouragement to progress your work through a highly professional and personable process, not to mention the nurturing atmosphere of Renvyle House!Honour

Fellowship Laurel

I am absolutely delighted to be a recipient of a Stowe Story Lab | Screen Ireland Screenwriting Fellowship, attending the Connemara Writer’s Retreat at Renvyle House. Five full days of mentoring, peer-to-peer feedback, access to informative panels with industry professionals, writing exercises and an unquantifiable amount of inspiration, encouragement and constructive feedback. Grateful and inspired to move forward with my work. Thanks also to the Galway Film Fleadh and Northern Ireland Screen for their support of the Lab.

I am over the moon to announce the great news I received today. I am a finalist in the Irish Blog Awards 2018 in 2 categories:

Personal Blog > Arts & Culture
Personal Blog > Books & Literature

My blog has been shortlisted for three years running now, but this is the first time I have been selected as a finalist, so naturally, I’m pretty happy right now! Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony, which takes place on October 25th, and I am loving The Day of The Dead theme! A full list of finalists and all details are now on the Blog Awards Website HERE. Check out the cool logos!

Thanks so much to YOU, my readers who like and share my posts. I really do enjoy blogging on my favourite things, but it wouldn’t be much fun if no-one read them!
