Peann agus Pár – New Galway writing
Welcome to The Galway Review literary page. In collaboration with the Galway Advertiser the Galway Review will be publishing a literary page as a feature in the Galway Advertiser each week from now on. An open invitation is being given to writers in Irish and English to submit their works for consideration and publication. Writer worldwide are invited to send their submissions to thegalwayreview@gmail.com and the selected pieces from The Galway Review will be published on the literary page of the Galway Advertiser.
It is the goal of this joint venture to encourage writing amongst young and old and to have a panel of editors who will determine what will be published on the literary page. At a recent meeting in Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe the General Administrator of The Galway Review , Uinseann Mac Thómais and Managing Editor, Ndrek Gjini outlined their plans for the Galway Review to a select attendance of Galway writers present. While the emphasis will be on writers with a connection to Galway, or from Galway itself, it will not be exclusively so affording extra variety of content. We look forward to a lively and entertaining literary page with the help and support of contributors and the team at the Galway Advertiser.
Students’ Corner
The Galway Education Centre in association with the Galway Review and The Galway Advertiser has recently circulated an invitation to all of Galway’s post-primary schools to encourage their students, especially their transition year students, to get writing in Irish and English. The goal of the project is the early development of the creative skills of the students concerned. Media, whether writing a script for Youtube or preparing a powerpoint presentation or a romantic poem requires the discipline of writing – the written word. Smart phones, tablets, and laptops may ease the process of writing for many but the humble pencil and biro has its role too. Get writing is the message…who knows we may have a new Seamus Heaney or Caitlín Maude in our midst! The literary page of the Galway Advertiser will be dedicated each third week of the month to the writing talent of Galway’s post primary schools. Subsribers from schools may send their writings to thegalwayreview@gmail.com with a view to having it published in the Galway Advertiser.
