Books Ireland, established in 1976
Established in 1976, Books Ireland magazine has a long-standing reputation as a key resource in the Irish book world.
Books Ireland aims to inspire, ignite and inform through excellent writing.
We publish news, reviews, interviews and features on fiction, poetry, non-fiction and children’s books, endeavouring to support and engage with all parts of the Irish book world—readers, publishers, writers, booksellers, and book organisations.
Our searchable database of upcoming books each month is published in First Flush, we are the home of the official Irish monthly bestsellers charts with figures supplied by Nielsen BookData, and we feature small, independent presses and little-known writers along with the bigger publishers and authors.
As members of Publishing Ireland we are committed to supporting the Irish book industry.
