Short Circuit/Nuala Ní Chonchúir's Visit

I entered The Short Review competition a while back and just got news from Tania Hershman, the editor of The Short Review, that I have won a copy of Short Circuit.

Short Circuit has its own webpage here. It is edited by Vanessa Gebbie and published by Salt Publishing and more details are to be found here on its Salt Webpage.

This is a quote taken from Short Circuit's webpage.

Published by Salt Publishing, Short Circuit is a unique and indispensable guide to writing the short story. A collection of 24 specially commissioned essays from well-published short story writers, many of them prize winners in some of the toughest short story competitions in the English language. The writers are also experienced and successful teachers of their craft.

I have been following its Virtual Tour and really want to read this book. So I am really delighted that it is now making its way to me.

An added delight with this book is that multi-talented Irish writer, Nuala Ní Chonchúir, also has an essay in it titled: Language and Style: a guide from a short story writer/poet. Sounds good!

And this brings me to yet more delight as Nuala will be visiting this Blog on Tuesday the 9th of Feb. to talk about her latest poetry pamplet titled: Portrait of the Artist with a Red Car, which has been published by Templar Poetry and can be bought here.

I am busily getting some carnival outfits ready for Nuala's visit as the carnival season is in full swing here. It will be carnival-party-a-go-go after our talk which
I hope you tune in to....so see you there, full carnival-outfit in tow please!
