✨📚 Join us for a very special joint book launch at this Listowel Writers' Week festival as we celebrate 'Quilt' by Tony Guerin alongside 'On the Wind and the Singing Tide' by Mary Kennelly.

The team is delighted to invite you to the launch of 'Quilt', the powerful and beautifully crafted new novel from one of Listowel’s most admired contemporary writers.

Set in the fictional village of Kilinver, 'Quilt' is an imaginative and richly layered story where lives, memories and buried tensions are stitched together across generations. At the centre of the novel is Nell Burrows and her simmering grievance against poet Pete Crotty, a thread that unfolds into a gripping and darkly compelling tale.

Award-winning novelist Christine Dwyer Hickey described 'Quilt' as ‘a melody of varying colours and shades of diamonds’, a fitting tribute to this extraordinary work ✨

The evening will also mark the launch of Mary Kennelly’s 'On the Wind and the Singing Tide', promising a memorable literary gathering as part of the Writers’ Week programme.

We are delighted to reveal 'Quilt', the remarkable new novel from acclaimed Listowel writer Tony Guerin, publishing 30 May 2026 and launching at this year’s Listowel Writers' Week 📚

Set in the village of Kilinver, 'Quilt' is a sweeping and inventive literary novel where stories weave, loop and return across generations. At its heart lies Nell Burrows and her quiet but relentless resentment of poet Pete Crotty — a force that gradually unfolds into a dark and compelling story of revenge.

JM Agency is especially proud to have partnered with Tony Guerin through our assisted publishing model, working collaboratively with the author throughout every stage of the publishing journey, including editorial development, design, production and marketing.

Tony Guerin remains one of Listowel’s most distinctive contemporary voices, and it has been a privilege to help bring this important new work into the world.

As award-winning author Christine Dwyer Hickey wrote (beautifully!), 'Quilt' is 'A melody of varying colours and shades of diamonds.' ✨

There’s no better way to close off a busy week than with feedback from one of our incredible authors ✨

We’re so grateful and appreciative of the kind words below from novelist Margaret Harvey.

Set in the Ireland of the 1960s, Margaret’s debut novel, 'That’s the Why', is a warm, nostalgic, coming-of-age story about family, love and resilience.

📚 Print and eBook are available now (see links in Story), with the audiobook version coming soon 🎧

Thank you so much for the warm words, Margaret — it was a pleasure to help you bring your wonderful book to publication 💛

“I am heartily grateful for all the help and encouragement from Jeremy and his wonderful team at JM Agency. I had reached a stage where I thought my book would never see the light of day. This all changed when I connected with JM Agency. Now I can hardly believe I have a book to hold in my hand. I would wholeheartedly recommend JM Agency to my fellow authors.”

A strong online presence can make all the difference for authors — and we love helping bring that to life ✨

We were thrilled to work with Jakub Żyto on a custom-built website to support his debut book, 'Life: The Ultimate Gaming Experience', which was published through JM Agency's assisted publishing programme.

Inspired by the ideas at the heart of his book, the site offers readers a gateway into Jakub’s exploration of reality, perception and meaning. Blending science with spirituality, his work invites us to look at existence from an entirely new angle 🤔

🔗 Take a look below (or in Story) to learn more about Jakub and his fascinating work.

If you’re an author thinking about a website to showcase your work and connect with readers, feel free to get in touch — we’re always happy to chat 💬

🌊 COMING SOON

'Four Knots to the Wind' by Owen Goonan

In a windswept corner of the west of Ireland, one man’s disappearance stirs a quiet community — and unearths more than anyone expected.

Haunting, reflective, and deeply human, 'Four Knots to the Wind' explores individuality, belonging, and the lives that don’t follow the expected path.

Brought to life through JM Agency’s assisted publishing package— supporting new voices in Irish writing.

💥COMING SOON

'Occupation: Gangster' by Brendan Kelly

“The most violent criminals in New York history.” — Rudy Giuliani

In the lawless streets of Hell’s Kitchen, power belonged to those willing to take it.

'Occupation: Gangster' is a gripping work of historical faction that charts the rise of the Westies — an Irish-American gang who defied the Mafia and carved out their own brutal reign in New York City.

At the centre of it all is Jimmy Coonan, charismatic, calculating, and ruthless, alongside Vietnam veteran Mickey Featherstone, navigating a world where loyalty meant survival and violence was currency.

Written by Brendan Kelly, former boxer and actor ('The Rock', 'Con Air', 'Oz'), this is a story grounded in lived experience. As a young fighter working the door in Manhattan, Kelly encountered Coonan firsthand, a meeting that informs the authenticity and edge of this powerful narrative.

A story of power, loyalty and consequence.

Coming soon.
