Seven Irish writers you might not have read yet, plus one, because 7 is an uneven number & it bothers me
From divorce-referendum Donegal to a murderous orchid & an Idaho western written in Meath, there is huge range, confidence & imaginative reach.

These are eight Irish voices whose books deserve to travel beyond the readers who have already discovered them!

Our new pick is ‘Queerphoria’ - a brilliant VERVE Voices anthology celebrating queer joy in all its forms. Across fiction, poetry, essays, illustration and more, 31 writers celebrate love, friendship, freedom and the joy of being queer.
Even better, £1 from every copy sold supports @switchboardLGBT and its vital work for the LGBTQ+ community.
A vibrant, defiant celebration of queer voices, queer creativity and queer joy. 🏳️🌈✨

Independent publisher @VERVE_Books has acquired After Care, a ‘scathing’ debut novel about the dark side of reality TV, influencer culture and consumerism, by Singaporean author Divya Maniar 👇 ebx.sh/OpJCBm
We're so excited to announce @divyalymaniar’s debut novel AFTER CARE will be joining the VERVE list! Blending biting social commentary with an uncanny claustrophobia, AFTER CARE interrogates what we owe each other and who we become in a world controlled by likes and shares.

✨✨ NEW REVIEW ✨✨
Under the Hammer by Samantha Dooey-Miles is sharp, dark and disturbingly addictive.
A furious, funny take on the housing crisis that asks when justified anger turns into something dangerous.
I flew through this one. Uncomfortable, clever and very current.

✨✨ NEW BOOK-TOUR ✨✨
The End of Romance by Lily Meyer is a quiet, emotionally intelligent exploration of love, vulnerability, and self protection after heartbreak.
Tender, reflective, and deeply human.
A book that truly lingers.
