How exciting 😀 we have no doubt the stories written will be amazing and we look forward to reading them

As we approach the end of our writing year, we are involved with one final collaborative challenge!

We are currently writing children's stories and poems to contribute to an anthology with another local writing group. How much fun is that?

Most of us haven't done childrens' writing so it is a wonderful challenge.

Will keep you all posted!

With continued thanks to The Moat Theatre , Kfm Radio Kildare, Kildare County Council for previous grant aid, Craddock House Nursing Home Werlay, Naas Ball for their incredible support and of course the people of Naas and environs for continually supporting our endeavours and buying our publications.

Onward we go!

The Moat Writers are Helen O'Leary, John Geoghegan , Zita McGarry Kelly, Tricia Dunne , Vicky Davis and Maura Mc Namara ✍️
