Jimi McDonnell, James Marshall and Claire Kilroy go Over The Edge this November. The writers are the featured readers at this month's Open Reading, which takes place in Galway City Library this Thursday, 19 November from 6.30pm to 8pm.

A native of Tuam, Jimi McDonnell has been the music correspondent for the Connacht Tribune since 2007 and is currently working on poetry and fiction projects.

Scottish born James Marshall landed in Galway in 1999 and is currently working on his first novel, but not as much as he should be.

Claire Kilroy is the author of three novels about the obsessions and exhilarations of art. Her debut, All Summer, was awarded the 2004 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. Her second novel, Tenderwire, was published to great acclaim in 2006, and was shortlisted for the 2007 Irish Novel of the Year and her latest novel, All Names Have Been Changed, was published this May.

There will be an open-mic when the Featured Readers have finished that is open to anyone who has a poem or story to share. New readers are always especially welcome. The MC for the evening will be Susan Millar DuMars.
