| from the website of The Manuscript Publisher Book Launch: The Splendiferous Tale of Ferdinand Fox by Rose Morris - 6pm Thursday, 5 November at Roscommon County Library HQ - | |
| The Splendiferous Tale of Ferdinand Fox by Rose Morris will be launched on Thursday, 5 November at Roscommon County Library HQ on Abbey Street, Roscommon Town (see Google Maps for directions). We invite you to join us for an evening of celebration and fun, commencing 6pm.  Ferdinand is a dashing, playful young fox, leading a carefree existence somewhere in the Irish countryside. One fateful day, a message from on high, delivered in the form of a 'bolt from the blue', gives him his calling in life. He sets out on a mission to go where creatures are in need, to protect the Earth and ensure its conservation and re-birth. A children's fable, told in verse and beautifully illustrated by Karolina Smorczewska, The Splendiferous Tale of Ferdinand Fox is as wonderfully whimsical as the title suggests, yet underlined by a serious ecological message. It is a story that skilfully combines themes of folklore, mythology, globe-trotting action and adventure. It will be appreciated and enjoyed by children of all ages (and even a few adults) but is particularly recommended for reading ages of 7-12 years. A glossary of difficult words is included, along with maps and charts that allow the reader to follow Ferdinand's progress. A retired primary school teacher and native of Roscommon, currently living in Elphin, Rose Morris has previously gained recognition for her literary output at local festivals, competitions and events. Her short story, The Wall, was a popular choice as overall winner at the 2014 Hanna Greally Literary Awards. Her prize, sponsored by The Manuscript Publisher, was to see her book published in print and e-book editions. The Splendiferous Tale of Ferdinand Fox marks her first publishing outing but will bring to wider public attention, the work of a talented author with an exciting and diverse range. Signed copies of The Splendiferous Tale of Ferdinand Fox will be on sale at the launch on Thursday, 5 November at Roscommon County Library HQ, Abbey Street, Co. Roscommon. The book will be on general sale thereafter - RRP €9.99. It is currently available to pre-order from The Manuscript Publisher (ISBN: 978-0-9571157-9-8) with an e-book edition coming soon. Make a note in your diary. Download the details here. For directions to Roscommon County Library HQ, please refer to Google Maps. | |

Hanna Greally Literary Awards 2015 - last call for entries
| | SiarScéal Fesitval 2015 5-6 November, Roscommon Town literary festival inspired by the culture and heritage of County Roscommon, in the heart of Ireland |
| Hanna Greally Literary Awards 2015 - Last call for entries: closing date Friday, 23 October - | |
| The closing date for entries for the Hanna Greally Literary Awards 2015 is this Friday, 23 October. Entries can be submitted by post or online but must be received before 5pm. Full details on how to enter, including terms and conditions, are available from the SiarScéal website (see Competition page). The Overall Winner will receive a cash prize of €200, while prizes will also be award across categories that include National, International, Local, Schools and Highly Commended in both poetry and prose. The theme of this year's competition is Century in Refelction. All entries received will be considered for inclusion in the inaugural edition of the SiarScéal/Hanna Greally Literary Journal, to be launched at the 2016 SiarScéal Festival, provisionally scheduled for April. Winners of the Hanna Greally Literary Awards (including the Ger Hanily Memorial Cup) will be announced and prizes presented at the forthcoming SiarScéal Festival, which takes place over two days, Thursday and Friday 5-6 November. The full programme of events is available from the SiarScéal website (see Festival page) and can also be downloaded in handy brochure form. Highlights of the festival include the launch of the book The Splendiferous Adventures of Ferdinand Fox by Rose Morris. As last year's overall winner of the Hanna Greally Literary Awards, Rose's prize was to see her book published, in print and e-book editions, courtesy of The Manuscript Publisher, who sponsored the prize. Rose's first publishing outing is as delightful and whimisical as the title suggests, as she skillfully combines themes of mythology, globe-trotting action and adventure, underpinned by serious ecological concerns and told through the medium of illustrated verse. It will be enjoyed by children of all ages (and even a few adults) but will appeal especially to reading ages of 7-12 years.  The Splendiferous Tale of Ferdinand Fox by Rose Morris is available to pre-order online from The Manuscript Publisher. It will be on general sale from November and signed copies will be available at the launch to take place on Thursday, 5 November, in Roscommon County Library HQ, Abbey Street, Roscommon, where an evening of entertainment is planned, commencing 6pm. We invite you to come along. The festival continues the following day, Friday 6 November starting at 10am with musical recitals and the formal opening, presided over by Chairperson of Roscommon County Council, Cllr Paddy Kilduff, accompanied by County Librarian and Festival Patron, Richie Farrell. They will oversee the presentation of the Hanna Greally Literary Awards, which will then be followed by a writer's workshop, presented by Mary Guckian and a Writing for Publishing workshop presented by Oscar Duggan. The festival will conclude with an Open Mic session. | |
