Valerie O'Riordan is mostly to be found scavenging chocolate from vending machines. Here's a brief and messy biography [click].

I'm a writer and editor. My chapbook, Enough, is published by Gumbo Press (May 2012), and is available both in paperback and for the Kindle. I'm also a creative writing workshop leader. Click on the links for details and for info on how to sign up to the workshops (do sign up!). Contact me at valerie.oriordan at gmail.com and follow me on Twitter. Go on.

What, more? Well, I placed first at the 2012 Spilling Ink Flash Fiction Prize (anthology forthcoming in late 2012) and the 2010 Bristol Short Story Prize (anthology here). I was also shortlisted in the flash fiction category in the 2010 Bridport Prize. I've got stories in various off- and on-line places - most recently in Flash365, Quickies, Storyglossia, Exposure, the National Short Story Week website, the Chamber Four Anthology and Bugged. There's a sneak preview of my novel-in-progress up at Beat The Dust.

I'm also a book reviewer and co-editor of Bookmunch, which combines two of my passions - reading and free things. Click here to see an up-to-date list of my reviews.
