This year we’re on the lookout for the stars of the future. In association with The Inkwell Group and Writing.ie, we put out a call to budding writers across the country to participate in an all-day pitching event at Dublin Castle. After sifting entries from all over the world, 75 writers were selected for the chance to pitch their book to five literary agents. It’s a unique showcase for unsigned Irish talent, and who knows, perhaps some of the writers taking part will be appearing at the festival in years to come… To view a list of those that have been shortlisted please click here. Participating agents: Faith O’Grady (Lisa Richards Agency), Simon Trewin (WME), Madeleine Milburn (Madeleine Milburn Literary Agency), Sallyanne Sweeney (Mulcahy Associates), Polly Nolan (Greenhouse Literary Agency). (Refreshments & lunch included)
