‘Missed Opportunities’ Launched with Panache!

A very proud Matthew Flavin at the launch of his book ‘Missed Opportunities’, with an equally elated JM Agency founder, Jeremy Murphy.

We were honoured an delighted to host the launch of JM Agency author Matthew Flavin’s debut poetry collection ‘Missed Opportunities’, at the beautiful Kerry Writers’ Museum, Listowel, on Friday, June 30th.

Matthew has been honing and mastering his craft for years, and we were therefore particularly proud to provide him with the platform he deserves.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made the event so special, and ensure that publishing in Kerry, and publishing in Ireland, continues to be active and vibrant. A very warm thank you to everyone who attended, in what was a rainy June evening. The rain didn’t dampen the spirits of those inside, however, and special thanks to #jmageny authors Tim Murphy, Michael McFarlane, Joe Lane & Paul O’Dowd for reading from their respective works, and contributing enormously to what was a wonderful evening.

Special thanks to Matthew Flavin for entrusting the team with his debut collection of poetry. Matthew is now a published poet, with ‘Missed Opportunities‘ being widely available online and in select retail outlets.

Thanks to JM Agency editor Dr Tiziana Soverino for providing her editorial insights into Matthew’s collection, and for believing in Matthew’s work, and to JM Agency designer Parvathi Venkitaraman for designing both a stunning-looking book and our new banners, which provided the perfect backdrop.
