Martin O’Brien of the Thursday Night Writers with the anthology of work.
A LOCAL writing group will launch their anthology of work this Friday to coincide with Culture Night.
The Thursday Night Writers will also host an Open Mic evening in Tralee Library from 6pm to 8pm at the launch of ‘Thursday Night Tales’.
There will also be raffles with prizes that every budding writer will want, and the chance to read out your own work, with the support and encouragement of some of Kerry’s most talented emerging and established writers.

Thursday Night Writers are a diverse creative group that meet every Thursday evening at 7pm in the Abbey Inn.
Their members have over 100 published pieces between them and writing forms vary from poetry to novels, flash to screenwriting. Everyone is welcome, from beginner to professional.
Current members include: Edward McGowran, a prominent Haibun poet; Davena O’Neill, winner of the Grindstone Dirty Dozen; Martin O’Brien, a finalist in the Berlin Flash Film Festival, and
Barbara Byar, whose much-anticipated book of flash fiction “Some Days are Better Than Ours” will be published by Reflex Press later this year.
For the newer writer, this is your chance to have your work read by people who share your love of stories and poetry, in a relaxed and supportive way.
Thursday Night Writers encourages anyone who loves to write to join them on Culture Night to get a taste of what the group is all about.
The launch of the Thursday Night Tales Anthology will give readers in Tralee a taste of our own home-grown writing talent.
The book is as diverse as the members themselves. There are sweeping, transportive poems about the power and savagery of nature, pithy space fiction on the meaning of life and poignant flash pieces that will leave you breathless.
Copies of the Anthology will be available on the night and are priced at €10 each. Light refreshments will be provided.
