A little milestone indeed…
Homepages, a unique collection of stories and photographs, the first of its kind in Ireland, has hit the virtual shelf this very day.
All proceeds from the sale of the book, compiled on an entirely voluntary basis, go directly to Focus Ireland, a very worthy cause who provide services and support for people who are homeless across Ireland. I contributed a photograph I took a while back to the collection and am very proud to have done so. I really hope it sells a shitload of copies.
Catherine Brodigan is the curator of the project. So hats off to Catherine for having the imagination, the initiative and the will to make it all work.
Catherine describes Homepages as “a unique collection of stories and photographs, the first of its kind in Ireland”. The contributors are a motley crew of Ireland’s best bloggers who “hold forth on the theme of ‘home’, covering everything from pets and expat life to parenting and the Kellogg’s Variety Pack. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and thought-provoking, it promises a captivating read and showcases some of Ireland’s best undiscovered writing talent”. The list of grade-A contributors is available here. I personally can’t wait to get my mitts on a copy.
Oh and it’d make a most excellent Christmas present for those you hold dear! It’s available online at Lulu on a print on demand basis for a mere €14. To buy your very own copy or one for a loved one go here.
Catherine will be virtually launching the book with a couple of drinks from 7pm this evening at Le Cirk on Dame Street – all are welcome to come along. She’ll be the redhead in the corner with the double espresso!
Also at Le Cirk this evening some fine folk will be live blogging to cover the final of The Apprentice. Excellent stuff. What a combination!
