One Campus, One Book is an annual Regional Writing Centre initiative that invites students and staff to unite around one book, a book that is a joy to read and fun to talk about.

Presentations, readings, book signings, Q&A sessions and How I Write, Ireland interviews are held each autumn and spring and are open to everyone and free to attend.

Books that have been selected for UL One Campus One Book in past years include Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume, The Thrill of it All by Joseph O’Connor,  Melatu Uche Okorie's This Hostel Life, and The Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan.

The UL One Campus One Book initiative is sponsored by the Regional Writing Centre, under the auspices of the Centre for Teaching and Learning.

Each summer, the RWC staff begin the process of identifying the following autumn’s selection.

Please feel free to contact writingcentre@ul.ie with suggestions for our next book.
