CONGRATULATIONS to Davitt College, Castlebar student, Lauren Bright who was successful in the Wild Words Short Story Writing Competition earlier this year. Lauren’s story was selected for inclusion in ‘Wild Words Volume 3’ (an anthology of short stories and poems by young authors from all over Ireland and the UK) and she was invited to a two-day writing master class with some of Ireland’s leading authors and industry experts. Lauren is pictured with other budding authors and the special guest for the festival, Ray D’Arcy, who launched the third volume of Wild Words in August. This is a fantastic achievement for Lauren; we are all very proud of her in Davitt College and wish her all the best with her writing pursuits in the future.
