Martina Devlin

We are thrilled to welcome Martina Devlin, bestselling author and award-winning journalist, to Anam Festival for a compelling live conversation with acclaimed writer Carlo Gébler.

With ten books to her name, Martina Devlin’s work spans historical fiction, investigative non-fiction, and incisive journalism. Her literary accolades include the Hennessy Literary Award, the V.S. Pritchett Prize from the Royal Society of Literature, and recognition as National Newspapers of Ireland Columnist of the Year. Her bestselling book Banksters, co-authored with David Murphy, was a defining account of Ireland’s financial collapse, topping bestseller charts for eight weeks.

A seasoned journalist who began her career in Fleet Street and now writes for the Irish Independent, Devlin brings a sharp intellect, deep empathy, and razor-sharp observations to all she does — whether she’s chairing public debates, appearing on RTÉ or the BBC, or crafting evocative historical fiction.

In this live event, she will be joined by Carlo Gébler, renowned novelist, playwright, and memoirist, for what promises to be an engaging, thoughtful exchange on writing, truth-telling, and how stories shape the way we see the world. Together, they’ll share insights on their creative processes, explore the relationship between journalism and fiction, and reflect on the times we live in.

Don’t miss this opportunity to witness two of Ireland’s most compelling literary voices in conversation.
