not exactly true: Occasional Educational Reading Pt.5

Occasional Educational Reading Pt.5

I'm off to Hay on Wye tomorrow, where I'll eat cake, drink tea, buy books, hear David Vann and Gary Shteyngart read, and teach the baby how to live in a tent. I'll be mostly offline, so I'll see y'all Sunday. In the meantime, here's a book I found last year:

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. Some people have said nice things about it. I run occasional creative writing workshops, and I'm available for manuscripts appraisals, should you want such a thing. Contact me at valerie.oriordan at gmail.com and/or 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 FRiGG and Metazen.

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 a list of my reviews.
