An Post Irish Book Awards

Congratulations to Kieran Marsh and Sam Blake on their short listing for the An Post Irish Book awards.

Sam (see right) has been listed in the ‘Crime Fiction Book of the Year’ category once again, for her book, The Killing Sense (great read, you can get a copy here if you haven’t read it already).

Kieran (see left) has been nominated in the ‘Best Short Story’ category for 2025 for his entry, Glass Splinters.

Best of luck to both of them.

You can’t vote for Kieran’s entry, because this category is decided by previous New Irish Writing winners.

In any case, it’s important to have your say. Please do go and vote for your favourite authors and books – you’ll find voting here.
