Panel Discussion: Surviving as a Writer in the Worlds of Publishing & Self-Publishing 1

What does it really take to survive as a writer today? From the challenges of finding a publisher, to the growing world of self-publishing, three experienced authors share their insights into the rewards, risks, and realities of the writing life. Join Helen Nicholl, Angeline King, and Alan Millar in conversation about their journeys as novelists, poets, and storytellers — each with a unique path through the publishing world. The discussion will be chaired by Dubhán Ó Longáin, poet, writer, and chairperson of the Irish Language Writers’ Association. This is a free event and a great opportunity for anyone curious about the inner workings of publishing, or for writers seeking encouragement and practical advice.
