Tidings An Antholoy of New Irish Christmas Stories

Tidings is an anthology of freshly commissioned Irish Christmas writing - short stories and essays by some of Ireland’s best writers, written on the theme of ‘Christmas parties’. This astounding array of writers all also have one thing in common – they have all been published by The Lilliput Press, over our 40 years of publishing. 

Contributors include Elske Rahill; Lorcan Roche; Donal Ryan; Alice Lyons; Kevin Power; Michael Harding; Oona Frawley; Mike McCormack; Julia Kelly; Martina Devlin; Rob Doyle along with a remarkable new short story by a debut Irish writer. 

These are stories of family, remembrance, parties, passion, loss and humor that mark a beautiful addition to the uniquely rich trove of Irish writing around the Christmas period, and the perfect gift for readers of Irish literature. Celebrating 40 years in publishing, we wanted to look back on what has gone before while also looking forward to what is to come. 

Seán Farrell is submissions editor at Lilliput Press. He also works as a freelance editor of literary fiction for both private clients and publishers in Ireland and the UK. His debut novel is forthcoming from New Island Books in Spring 2025.
