Welcome
Welcome to the website. Our core contributors are writers who live and work on the Beara peninsula in County Cork, Ireland, but we welcome approaches from anyone who is interested in the kinds of writing that can be found in our Online Anthology—read and (we hope) enjoy! If you are interested in contributing, please see our Submissions page. Feedback is also welcome via the Contact Us page.
Our Poets Meet Painters writing competition, held in collaboration with Mill Cove Gallery, is becoming an annual event, with publication of successful entries; for more about it, and about other forthcoming competitions, see the Competitions page. Anthologies from previous competitions can be purchased via the Publications page.
For those interested in meeting others on Beara who write, or want to write, there are active writers' groups; if you would like to know more, see the Writers' groups page.
We also organise readings, courses and workshops from time to time; see our News page for the latest information.
As a small non-profitmaking organisation we run our publications and competitions on very tight margins; if you feel you could support our activities financially, click here.

You are welcome to use brief quotations of text (suitably acknowledged) for criticism or research, but copying, forwarding, or publication of any whole piece or a substantial part of it is strictly forbidden unless you have written permission in advance from the author.
