Miriam Mulcahy (no relation to Ivan) is an Irish writer and journalist.
She writes features for The Irish Times and has been published in all the Irish nationals. She has been a writer for Fáilte Ireland, the Irish tourist board since 2018 and gets to visit ancient historical sites, houses and castles and then write their stories.
Miriam’s first book was published in summer 2023, a literary nonfiction memoir about grief, family and the sea. There are plans for many more books being hatched, as she finally gets back to the multiple manuscripts she’s been working on over the last ten years. Writing is something in her blood, an obsession she can’t quite shake, a dream she never gave up on.
Last year she curated and worked with Naked Ape author and surrealist artist Desmond Morris on a soon to be opened museum in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, dedicated to his life’s work, housing his paintings, his books, a selection of his letters and correspondence and hundreds of artefacts he collected on his extensive travels. Desmond told her to get published she should write a book about Christmas, so she intends to spend this summer doing just that.
Miriam lives in Kildare, is a single mother to four children, two of whom are still at home, and their beloved dog Juno, who drags them out for long walks on the Curragh every day.

Dr Lydia Syson brings history to life in nuanced works of fiction, non-fiction and something between the two — an approach particularly well suited to women whose lives are less recorded.
She became a full-time writer and educator after an early career as a BBC World Service radio producer and a PhD about Timbuktu in the European cultural imagination.
Her biography of Britain’s first fertility guru, Doctor of Love: James Graham and his Celestial Bed, was reviewed in academic journals and tabloids alike. This was followed by three critically acclaimed historical novels for young adults: A World Between Us, That Burning Summer and Liberty’s Fire. All were loosely inspired by her own family’s radical history. Her adult fiction debut, Mr Peacock’s Possessions, a Robinsonade set on a remote volcanic island in nineteenth-century Oceania, was a Book of the Year in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Lydia has just completed her novel Olga and Castor, which tells the story of the long and complicated three-way relationship between Olga Kosakiewicz, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Frank Callanan is a graduate of University College Dublin from which he holds a PhD.
He also attended the King’s Inns in Dublin and the College of Europe in Bruges. He is a barrister practising in Dublin, and a historian and writer. His first book, The Parnell Split, 1890–1, a narrative of the last year of Parnell’s life, with a foreword by Conor Cruise O’Brien, was published by Cork University Press (CUP) in 1992, followed four years later by T. M. Healy (CUP 1996), a biography of Timothy Michael Healy, Parnell’s principal adversary in the Split.
He edited Parnell: A Memoir by Edward Byrne (published Lilliput Press 1991) and The Literary and Historical Society 1955-2005, the sequel to the first history to 1955 of the debating society of University College Dublin to which Joyce belonged. He wrote the entries on Parnell, John Dillon, T. M. Healy and others for the Dictionary of Irish Biography (Royal Irish Academy & Cambridge University Press, 2009). He subsequently contributed the entry on Conor Cruise O’Brien, about whom he also produced, with the novelist Carlo Gebler, a television documentary.
Callanan’s article ‘James Joyce and the United Irishman, Paris 1902-3’ (Dublin James Joyce Journal No. 3: 2010) identified Arthur Griffith’s newspaper United Irishman as the source of an extensive list of Irish books written out by Joyce in his Paris-Pola commonplace book. His essay ‘The Parnellism of James Joyce: “Ivy Day in the Committee Room”’ appeared in the Joyce Studies Annual 2015 (Fordham University Press) and his article ‘The Origins of Joyce’s Parnellite Nationalism’ in The Dublin James Joyce Journal (No. 10: 2017).
He has lectured on Joyce in Dublin, London, Trieste and Paris and has contributed articles and book reviews to Irish newspapers and journals.
In January 2021 Ben Tate at Princeton University Press acquired world rights to James Joyce: A Political Life by Frank Callanan, for publication in 2023. The book is a significant augmentation of Richard Ellmann’s classic Joyce biography that shifts how Joyce is understood, by reinstating Joyce’s political edge. Callanan’s work is a major biographical re-interpretation of Joyce from the perspective of his politics, that retrieves the consistently neglected brilliance, acuity, and coherence of Joyce’s treatment of politics and modelling of history. His conceptualisation of the political has outlasted his own era and speaks to the ideological disenchantments of our time.
We are saddened to report Frank’s sudden death on December 12th 2021. Frank was a dear friend to the founder of this agency Ivan Mulcahy. Read the eulogy written in his memory by Margaret O’Callaghan for the Dublin Review of Books here.

Emile Chabal is a historian of twentieth-century European political and intellectual life.
He was educated at Cambridge, Rice University, Harvard University and the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He is currently Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Edinburgh.
Much of Emile’s early research focused on France, in particular the transformation of French politics since the 1970s, Franco-British relations in the 20th century and the complex legacies of colonialism. In recent years, he has moved beyond France to think about how we might imagine alternative frameworks for understanding contemporary politics. This has resulted in several publications on the history of immigration, and it has laid the foundations for a new project on democracy, difference, and the rise of identity politics.
Emile recently completed a major intellectual biography of the Marxist historian, Eric Hobsbawm, to be published by Harvard University Press in 2026. He uses Hobsbawm’s remarkable life and work to reflect on the history of twentieth-century global Marxism, as well as the nature of historical writing and the role of the intellectual.
Emile’s other great passion is music. He holds an LRSM performing diploma on the classical guitar and, for many years, taught the instrument to unsuspecting students of all ages.
