About Publication & Literary Society

Welcome to the Publication and Literary Society!

We are the official home for the Silver Hand Journal, Maynooth's only online publication for students, by students.

If you are interested in writing, reading, poetry, journalism, and literary discussion, then this is the place to be! As a society we provide students with an opportunity to share their love for all things literary. From workshops, book club,  writers' sessions and much more, we're putting on the perfect literary events for you to enjoy every single week! Enjoy reimbursed (read: FREE!) books for book club, and join our writers team to receive exclusive advanced copies of forthcoming books!

Nervous about checking us out? Hit us up on Insta or Twitter and we'll set you up with a buddy for your first few events.

So why not join us? Become a published writer, discuss your favourite books or just enjoy the atmosphere. Help us put the 'lit' back in literary, one event at a time!
