Áine Greaney is an Irish-born writer who lives on Boston’s North Shore. A former Gloucester resident, she has written five books and published and broadcast many essays, short stories and features in publications such as Creative Nonfiction, The Boston Globe Magazine, Salon and WBUR Cognoscenti.
Áine’s presentation focuses on writing personal essays
She discusses the risks and rewards of writing about our personal experiences, including why and how she wrote and published her just released essay collection (about immigration) 30+ years after her immigration to the USA.
Other topics include how to choose and edit our individual shorter pieces to create a book-length manuscript and how our own or our family immigrant histories inform our identities and attitudes in 21st-century America.
The evening concludes with a brief reading from Greaney’s fifth book, Green Card & Other Essays which has just been released (Wishing Up Press, 2019).
