About Original Writing
We're the leading Irish self publishing company, based in Smithfield, Dublin. Founded in 2006, we have already helped over 150 Irish authors successfully publish their books across a wide variety of genres. We understand the importance of working closely with you as an author on every aspect of your work. Authors are free to visit us to discuss their self-publishing projects in detail and remain in control at every stage of the publishing process.
Poetry, fiction, memoirs and more
The majority of the books we've published have been poetry collections, memoirs or short story collections. As more people realise how simple it is to get their work into print we're increasingly branching out into areas such as academic and business titles. Self-publishing is an increasingly viable option for many different types of publications and we can handle everything from small private projects to larger commercial publishing opportunities.
Helping you spread the word about your work
Our publishing packages come with enough free copies of your work to start spreading the word to a local audience, friends or family. We also promote your book via our website to a global audience and set you up with a simple and hassle free way of selling your book online. If you want to give your work an extra push, we can easily arrange further launch materials, marketing plans and more fully featured online promotion options for your book.

The Girl in the Wardrobe by Jennifer Farrell
Jennifer Farrell's childhood memoir won the Inaugural Memoir prize at Listowel Writers' Week in 2007. Patti remembers life in the tenement in Wolfe Tone Street where rats scratched under the floorboards and the hoolies went on all night. Her family are re housed by Dublin Corporation and they move up town to a damp two bedroom flat. The Girl in the Wardrobe tells the story of a young girl growing up in the heart of the city. Attending a strict convent school, she hates gymslips and margarine sandwiches, the smell of cabbage and cauliflower. She loves reading Pippi Longstocking and Huckleberry Finn. She likes going up Nelson Pillar with her friends for a sneaky smoke.
