In addition to my published novel and short stories, I have a considerable body of shorter articles, press-releases and commentary available. My specialist topics are writing, IT and the environment but I am open to all subjects.

I am available at contact@susanlanigan.com for further enquiries.

Here is a sample of my body of work:

Writing

How To Stand Your Ground – for weheartwriting.com: Sometimes power really doesn’t like you. When my debut novel came out, I had to learn fast how to deal with it.  Click here for more…

Ignoring the younger generation’s plea for help…is not a direction we want to go in. Click here for more…

Cork Luas would “revolutionise travel around the city” – for cork.ie: The design of Cork makes it very difficult to get to the periphery. Instead of walking into town from the train station, wouldn’t it be better to just hop on a light rail? Click here for more…

Storm Callum aftermath in Cobh – for irishexaminer.com: But it’s not just one thing. It’s every felled tree blocking roads, every flood-related damage report, every site closure due to high winds – the effect is cumulative. Click here for more…

Haulbowline admission is “a ridiculous spectacle” – for Cork Greens: This is a ridiculous spectacle of Government officials playing pass the parcel, except they are tossing away a gift that nobody wants. Click here for more…
