If there are any books / writers you think we should add to this list please let us know.
Very useful lists – we need more of the kind, more promotion of Welsh writers, more information altogether. We`re not just a minor branch of the literature of England but a literature of our own. Why have I only now discovered Welshpoetry ?
Hi Sally
Not sure, we’ve been here for 13 years now. Maybe the establishment doesn’t wish to promote Wales? More ‘Welsh writers’ information coming soon over the next few weeks.
Cheers

I’m a writer living in Florida and have Welsh connections. Are these books a good example of the kind of literature coming out of Wales right now? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Carol-Ann
I’d say yes! These are real writers with a heart and a soul, not the shallow pretenders we often find milking the system for grants and bursaries, then producing nothing of value afterwards.
Cheers Dave
Nice selection of Welsh authors here. 🙂
Nice collection of ‘Welsh flavour’ books. Nice to see you’ve not included too many of the usual suspects from the Academi.
