Meet Orla Mackey! Orla was an IWC #NovelFair winner in 2022 where she pitched her novel #Mouthing, a multigenerational portrait of small-town life in Ireland. Orla found her agent at Novel Fair and later her publisher Hamish Hamilton. Two years later, it’s launch week!

Amazing evening in Gathabawn, launching Orla Mackey's fabulous debut novel #Mouthing There were approximately a million people in attendance, a chip van and some outdoor dancing. Everything you could ask for in a book launch and a bit more besides. Very proud NMP mentor.

📚I'm thrilled that Kitty War is published. I would like to thank The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and Kilkenny Arts Office for their support and @WordsIreland for their mentorship Henrietta McKervey Amazon UK shorturl.at/GxhFW Amazon Australia shorturl.at/931aW Eason shorturl.at/uVIh6

‘There’s an idea that the big stuff of life only happens in big cities or towns’ Debut novelist Orla Mackey’s novel is full of village life. She speaks with Áine Toner about voices in literature and literary likenesses belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/books/deb…

The best books of 2024 so far: Colm Tóibín’s Long Island, Lucy Caldwell’s Openings, Ferdia Lennon’s Glorious Exploits and Niamh Mulvey’s The Amendments are favourites. I also really liked The Alternatives by Caoilinn Hughes and Mouthing by Orla Mackey. irishtimes.com/culture/books/…

Very much looking forward to this one, (and to getting to spend some time with this pair of legends) - well worth a road trip

Happy Thursday I’m back at it!! Finally feel human again! And I’ve two books on the go now! Orla Mackey bloody heck I’m 2 chapters in and I’m addicted! The writing is just fantastic I snorted laughing at “ I had never tried to grow Marietta biscuits” I needed this book 🥰
