Wexford Authors Shine in An Post Irish Book Awards 20th Anniversary Celebration

The An Post Irish Book Awards is celebrating 20 years of promoting Irish literature and this year, two Wexford authors have earned a place in the spotlight.

Eoin Colfer and John Banville are featured on the prestigious list of 60 top books from the awards' past two decades.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, the public is invited to vote for their Top 20 Favourite Irish Books from the winners across three categories: Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Children’s books.

The list includes Colfer’s beloved Artemis Fowl series, which has captivated readers worldwide, and Banville’s critically acclaimed works, such as The Sea, which earned him the Man Booker Prize.

The public vote is open until April 13th, with exciting prizes including National Book Tokens and tickets to the 2026 An Post Irish Book Awards ceremony. For more information and to vote, visit anpostirishbookawards.ie.
