Editor: Paul McVeigh's debut novel, The Good Son, won The Polari First Novel Prize and he is twice winner of The McCrea Literary Award. He wrote plays and comedy, with his shows touring the UK and Ireland including the Edinburgh Festival and London's West End. His short stories have appeared in The Irish Times, Faber's Being Various and Kit de Waal's Common People anthologies, on BBC Radio 3, 4 and 5, and Sky Arts. Paul was fiction editor at the Southword Journal, co-edited the Belfast Stories anthology and co-founded the London Short Story Festival.
"""The collection's strength is in its specificity--more than an assemblage of voices, this is about what it means to be a working-class writer in Ireland, and the constraints such writers face in their creative endeavors...Fans of Kit de Waal's Common People will want to give this a look."" -- Publishers Weekly"
