Waterford Libraries are delighted to welcome award winning author and columnist Martina Devlin to Central Library on Saturday 29th March at 3:00pm.
This continues our Writers at Waterford Libraries series.

Martina Devlin is an award winning author and newspaper columnist. She has written nine novels, two non-fiction books, two plays and a collection of short stories. Her latest novel, Charlotte, explores Charlotte Brontë’s Irish connections. Other novels include Edith about the Irish R.M. co-author Edith Somerville; and The House Where It Happened about a mass witchcraft trial in Co Antrim in 1711, which led to a plaque erected to commemorate those convicted following a campaign she initiated.

Prizes include the Royal Society of Literature’s V.S. Pritchett Prize and a Hennessy Literary Award, and she has been shortlisted three times for the Irish Book Awards. Martina writes a weekly current affairs column for the Irish Independent for which she has been named National Newspapers of Ireland commentator of the year, among other journalism prizes. She holds a PhD in literary practice from Trinity College Dublin and is currently a judge on the Dublin Literary Award.
