About Me

My photo
A R Devine
I have had work published in the Guardian, Daily Mail, Irish Post, The Journal.ie, The Conservative Woman, Quillette and Areo magazine. In 2010, my previous blog, "Working with the Underclass", written under the pseudonym of Winston Smith, won the Orwell Prize for exposing the deficiencies in the UK's youth social care sector. In 2011, my book, 'Generation F', was published by Monday Books. In 2016, I completed a novel I worked on for over two years and am currently seeking a publisher.
