Twenty years of Irish publishing. Twenty years of imprints, magazines, and independent presses reshaping what gets written, printed, and read. To mark two decades of the Dublin Book Festival, we're bringing together a panel of professionals who've helped build that story, and asking them what comes next. Join Dr. Jonathan C. Creasy (UCD Mary Lavin Centre for Creative Writing; Publishing Ireland) in conversation with Brendan Barrington (Sandycove/Penguin Ireland), Eimear Ryan (Banshee), and Noelle Moran (UCD Press) for a wide-ranging look at Irish publishing past, present, and future.
