The editorial panel were honoured to have received over 500 submissions for the anthology. Thank you to everyone who trusted us with their work.
Since January, we have worked very hard, taking care in reading and re-reading/ re-viewing each submission and were buoyed by the wealth of artwork and writing which explored the themes in the call out:
personal responses to the themes of the sacred feminine, Brigid and the heritage of Kildare.
We have now contacted everyone who has submitted work and are looking forward to the next steps in working with the feminist press Arlen House. The anthology is due to be launched in October 2024 as part of Kildare Readers Festival and Brigid 1500 celebrations.
Thanks once again to Brigid 1500 and Kildare County Council for funding this project.
Keep her lit!
