About Michelle Gallen
Michelle’s previous work has been published in The Stinging Fly and Mslexia and she has won the Orange/NW Short Story award. She will discuss and read from Big Girl, Small Town, her debut novel, which has been described as ‘even funnier than Derry Girls, while being just as fraught as Anna Burns’s Booker Prize winner’.
Big Girl, Small Town has been shortlisted for the 2020 Costa First Novel Award, the Comedy Women in Print prize and the Irish Book Awards Newcomer of the Year. It has also been serialised as a Book of The Week for BBC Radio Four.
