Donal Ryan - Literary fiction novelist and mentor

Multiple award-winning author of The Spinning Heart and Strange Flowers and creative writing lecturer at the University of Limerick, Donal Ryan, understands the pain of rejection when it comes to publishing the written word. "A writing life is poxed and pockmarked by rejection. It never ends. Your work will be precious to you but you can't expect everyone else to treat it as such. People will say ‘no. No. Get out. I'm calling security.'"
