About me:

My debut collection of short fiction, Waiting For The Bullet (Doire Presss, 2014) won the Edge Hill Readers' Choice Prize 2015 (U.K).

In 2010 I received the Hennessy X.O Literary Award for First Fiction as well as the overall Hennessy New Irish Writer Award. My work has been short-listed and commended in many other competitions.

Since 2005, I have attended writing workshops with many acclaimed writers such as Mary Morrissy, Claire Keegan, Bharati Mukherjee, Robert Olen Butler, Adam Johnston, Vincent McDonnell, James Harpur and the late Alastair MacLeod, and in 2014 I gained a First Class Honours MA in Creative Writing from University College Cork. 

In my own workshops, I hope to share what I've learnt about craft, technique and everything to do with the business of writing.  For further details please email madeleinedarcy@eircom.net or send me a message via Facebook, where my account is Madeleine D'Arcy Lane.
