Dublin - Greater Dublin

Got a great book idea? Think you can pitch it in ten minutes flat? Well, then O’Brien Press want you! They’re looking for the best unpublished writers and illustrators to meet with members of their team via Zoom for one-to-one pitches.

This year they’re on the lookout for children’s and YA fiction (especially all genres for ages 9+), and popular history and humour for an adult readership. They particularly welcome applications from those of diverse backgrounds and New Irish voices. For one night only, this is a unique opportunity to pitch directly to one of Ireland’s leading independent publishers. Places are quite limited: email culturenight@obrien.ie to book your slot.
