Helena Kilty
lives
in Galway, where she divides her time between writing and working as a
psychotherapist. She’s currently completing a collection of short stories. She
also writes non-fiction and poetry. She’s a member of the Galway Writers’
Workshop and completed the MA in writing at NUI Galway in 2012. Her work has

and in the Abandoned Darlings
anthology.
Tim Sniffen studied writing and
animation at Hampshire College and began working with Chicago’s Second City
theater in 2003: credits there include The
Second City Guide To The Opera, Death
of a Streetcar Named Virginia Woolf and the recent Longer! Louder! Wagner! -- The Second City Wagner Companion,
because who doesn’t like taking a few jabs at Hitler’s favourite easy-listening
music? Tim has written for McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, National Public Radio
and keeps his own Tumblr site for things that everyone else refuses to print.
You can find him as MisterSniffen on Twitter for jokes and the occasional David
Versus Goliath squabble with airlines and movie theaters.
As usual there will be an open-mic after the Featured Readers have finished. New readers are always most welcome. The MC for the evening will be Susan Millar DuMars. For further details phone 087-6431748.
Over The Edge acknowledges the ongoing generous financial support of Galway City Council, Poetry Ireland, & The Arts Council.
