Welcome
My name is Niamh Cooper and I am a Writer and Editor, based in Co. Cork, Ireland.
Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed playing with words - from writing secret notes (in Latin!) during the dreaded Maths class, to transcribing my mother's telephone conversations - a rather one-sided affair I must admit. But I had fun filling in the gaps!

Since then, I have been shortlisted in a few competitions and have performed at t Listowel Writers' Week when I was shortlisted in the Fiction Slam Final in 2010 - a most daunting affair!
I decided to put together this website for anyone who'd like to read some of my stories. Enjoy!
