  • St. Patrick's Day: a Feast of Irish Books and Literature With St. Patrick's Day approaching it is as good a time as any to showcase the veritable library of books and literature, from the land of saints and scholars, which have seen the publishing light of day in recent times here at The Manuscript Publisher. The festivities around St. Patrick's Day are about connecting Irish people from near and far: people who were born or have come to live in Ireland, Irish people who have moved abroad, people in other countries who claim Irish descent.  Where Did They Get You? is the title of an absorbing memoir by Bridget P. McDonnell. It is the story of one who travelled the globe, as a member of the Irish diaspora ...

  • Guest Post: Why Write, How to Write, When to Write by T.J. Gillespie (Tom na gCapaillín) Writing is a release of creative energy. Talking about what I am going to write dissipates that energy.Writing is a means of communication. Literacy as in speech, sign language, (gestures), painting, sculpture, music. Speech has a long pedigree; proficiency has traditionally been valued and honoured. A successful orator would have possessed and cultivated certain skills and mannerisms.It is commonly believed that writing gives you, the quieter, more sensitive soul, a voice. So let you write. Let the Inner You write of some incident, some idea, some thought in your mind that won’t go away. Seeing it in your mind's eye, write about it as graciously as you can, choosing words that flow, that glow with colour ...

  • New Title: The Echo of a Troubled Soul by Joy C. Agwu The Echo of a Troubled Soul is the debut novella by Nigerian-born author, Joy C. Agwu. It is both a fascinating and insightful story that remains uplifting and life-affirming even as it delivers a cautionary tale. "Always wear knowledge like a wristwatch: bring it out when you need it because, when you stop learning, you will start dying. Life is too short and it is easier to forgive than to take the path of revenge." Following a spate of tragedies Tom is left alone; weighed down by bereavement and consumed with grief. He goes in search of comfort and companionship and, unfortunately, finds them in alcohol. However this turns out to be the wrong step in the right ...
