In the next episode of Past/Present/Pride – a series of conversations that celebrates LGBTQ+ writers – psychologist Dr Paul D’Alton speaks to writer Adiba Jaigirdar.
Adiba Jaigirdar was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and has been living in Dublin from the age of ten. She has a BA in English and History from University College Dublin, and an MA in Postcolonial Studies from the University of Kent. She is the author of The Henna Wars, which was named a best book of the year by Kirkus, and was a semi-finalist for Best Young Adult Fiction in the Goodreads Choice Awards. Her sophomore novel, Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating was released earlier this year.
‘Ná bí ag ceapadh go bhfuil ach guth amháin agat. Tá na céadta agat!’ Ceistíonn an scríbhneoir dátheangach Éilís Ní Dhuibhne cé atá ag insint an scéal agus cén dearcadh a bhfuil acu sa ceachtín speisialta #NovelTeens seo. Cén dearcadh faoi leith a bhfuil ag do charachtar ar an saol?
In this Bright Sparks Creative Burst explore hidden stories by using everyday junk found around the house to inspire us to create some original pieces of work. With a little inspiration from Sarah Crossan’s #wearethepoets postcards, Sarah Webb uses blackout poetry and highlights words to make a poem. Download the materials to create some poetry or prose of your very own!
Join children’s writer and creative writing teacher Sarah Webb for day two of Bright Sparks Creative Bursts. Using story prompts and word games, Sarah will inspire you to go wild with your imagination!
