December: Alongside Fiona O’Grady, launched 12 Days, an email writing project involving Irish writers Louise Bruton, Patrick Freyne, Claudia Hoareau, Clara Kumagai, Alan Maguire, Emer McLysaght, Pete McNamara, Odhran O Donaghue, Louise O’Neill, Kathryn O’Regan, Deirdre Sullivan, and Ellen Tannam. From 12th to 24th December, subscribers to 12 Days received an email from one of the above-named writers. Each message reflected on loneliness during the stranger-than-usual season. Each piece was accompanied by an illustration of flora and fauna by Ruth Gallagher, a freelance print designer and illustrator based in Copenhagen, originally from Dublin. The project cost €12 to take part in and raised just over €10,000 for the following charities: Women’s Aid,‍ ALONE,‍ Samaritans, and Childline. Half of this figure was made possible by the wonderful generosity of Marian Keyes who matched donations.
