Kerry Colib

There are thankfully quite a few libraries in County Kerry. Libraries are incredible community resources where even in a time where the world wide web exists, we must look after them and preserve them for our communities for future generations.

You can find your nearest local library in Killarney, Listowel, Kenmare, Ballybunion, Castleisland, Killorglin, Caherciveen and An Daingean.

Young Writers Embracing Technology

Budding writers within our villages and towns in Kerry must be encouraged. We do however have to embrace the role technology plays in how people consume literature these days.

Many people use their kindle device everyday particularly when traveling and space may be at a premium.

Publishing Software

Those with an interest in publishing are increasingly looking at options such as Kindle Keyword Software.

Local writing courses must cover all angles these days and tools such as Publisher Rocket and KDP SPY are becoming increasingly important when considering your market and who might be interested in buying your book.

Working online, you can use Publisher Rocket Free for 1 month or get a KDSPY Free Trial for 2 months.

Traditionalist like myself will probably always opt for the typewriter but even I can see the multiple advantage modern technology offers writers these days.

It’s important to know what tools are at your disposal.

Good luck!
