CLÉ Events
2007 CLÉ Author/Editor Library Tour
The CLÉ Author & Editor Library Tour ran from July to December 2007. A research partner in the Arts Council's Touring Experiment CLÉ organised an all Island tour bringing writers and publishers together to discuss the process of writing and producing a book in Ireland. The events provided great insight into the unique dynamic between the writer and their publisher as well as illustrating the strengths and difficulties of literary publishing in Ireland today. 35 events took place in 17 libraries from Portrush to Cahersiveen and included writers and publishers of biographies, novels, short stories, poetry and childrens' books in both Irish and English. Here are a selection of images from the tour:
