Listowel have formally announced that HMP Magilligan writers have continued to do well in the all-Ireland completion winning four out of a possible twelve ‘Writers in Prison’ awards.
ABOUT THE WRITERS IN PRISON AWARDS
Sponsored by: Irish Prison Service & Irish Council for Prisoners
The Listowel Writer’s Week competition for ‘Writing in Prisons’ enable PAF’s Creative Writing participants to practice the art of getting published and the writers awards go a long way to helping them build a literary profile.
In February 2018 over 30 entries were submitted by PAF Writer in Residence Pamela Brown on behalf of our aspiring writers in HMP Magilligan. Building on previous years’ successes, Pamela writes “Four prizes out of a possible twelve awards is brilliant. I’m really delighted for all involved. I’m looking forward to letting the winners know.”
