Back to back launches of REELING IN THE QUEERS by Páraic Kerrigan
On two consecutive days in June, author Páraic Kerrigan and the New Island team launched Reeling in the Queers with two events on either side of the country.
Wednesday 5th of June saw us take Reeling to Hodges Figgis on Dawson Street in Dublin where author Páraic Kerrigan was joined by our MC, the beautiful Davina Devine and special guest, Irish queer icon, Tonie Walsh.
The very next day on Thursday 6th of June the very brilliant (and hardworking!) Páraic, along with New Island Marketing manager, Des Doyle, hopped on a train and headed down to Waterstones Cork where they met with more of Páraic's readers, friends and fans to talk about what inspired him while creating the book. Queer activist and writer Orla Egan hosted this second launch and the special guest was Cathal Kerrigan.
