Do The Write Thing

“Did Cinderella’s glass slippers start to pinch after a while? Did her prince become a work-obsessed dragon-slayer? Did Snow White marry in haste (given that she’d only just recovered from a very serious coma), then realise that her true love was really Dopey?”

In a short story collection remarkable for its vitality, perceptiveness and humour, these up-and-coming writers turn a ruthlessly honest eye on the reality beneath the glossy veneer of modern life. From bridal bliss to married desperation, from the harrowing to the hilarious, the utterly heartrending to the deliciously upbeat, these stories will hold you spellbound.

Coached through Seoige & O’Shea’s RTÉ ONE talk show by bestselling author Patricia Scanlan, these up-and-coming writers have mined the full range of human experience and given us a fresh and unforgettable view of the diverse and lively society we live in today.

All royalties will go to the National Breast Cancer Research Institute.

Featuring the short story 'Family Life' by Ellen McCarthy which was announced as the Overall Winner of RTÉ Television's Seoige & O'Shea Show's 'Do the Write Thing' Competition, in April 2007.
