Celebrating Irish Children’s Books 2020 | Online School and Family Book Festival on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of November

PROGRAMME SCHEDULE

Supported by the Arts Council of Ireland - Literature

5pm | The Magic Starts Here! Staff from The O’Brien Press welcome you inside their Publishing House and answer your questions

November 20, 2020 5:00 pm
Cost: Free
Until 5:30 pm
ALL AGES

So what does a Publisher actually do?

In this exclusive event for Wonderfest, we’ll peek inside the doors of one of Ireland’s leading publishing houses, The O’Brien Press, and find out what goes on inside. Members of the O’Brien Press team will bring us on a book’s journey from manuscript to actual finished book, with a virtual tour showing us what happens where, followed by a live Q&A session.

The O’Brien Press was set up by Michael O’Brien and his father, Thomas in 1947. They have been publishing books for over forty-five years and are based in Rathgar, Dublin 6.

If you’re fascinated by books and how they are made, this free event is for you!

A live interactive event, delivered digitally.
