The 2009 Cuirt Festival Over The Edge showcase reading takes place at the Town Hall Theatre, Galway on Thursday 23 April at 11am and the five featured authors this year are Orla Higgins, Noelle Lynskey, Noel Harrington, Jenny McCudden and Val Nolan.

The Over the Edge reading series began in January 2003 and each month puts the spotlight on emerging poets and fiction writers. Sessions end with an open-mic where anyone can get in on the act.

If you, or a writers group you belong to, would be interested in taking part in the Over The Edge Cúirt showcase in the future, contact Over The Edge c/o Galway Arts Centre, 47 Dominick Street, Galway or send a sample of six of your poems or 2,000 of your fiction to Over The Edge, 3 Carbry Road, Newcastle, Galway and you could be considered for a Featured Reading at one of the Over The Edge: Open Readings, which will make you eligible for the shortlist for the subsequent Cuirt Festival Over The Edge showcase.
