Celebrate the future of fiction with some of Ireland’s most exciting literary voices. As always, the UCD Festival shines a spotlight on standout new writing—both recently published and on the horizon.

Join Dublin-based writer, performer and cultural consultant Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan for this year’s panel featuring Roisín O’Donnell, author of the bestselling Nesting; Claire Coughlan, crime writer and UCD MA graduate; and Sylvia Leatham, UCD staff member and author of a forthcoming debut novel set for release later this year. Join us for lively conversation, fresh perspectives, and a glimpse into the stories that will shape 2025.
