Short stories about growing up
in Northern ireland in the 1980s & 1990s

Paul McNally is a Belfast-born writer whose work captures the rough edges and quiet moments of growing up in working-class Northern Ireland in the 1980s & 1990s.

Paul is currently studying Creative Writing at Queen’s University Belfast. His writing is rooted in lived experience and the messiness of growing older — darkly humorous, honest, sometimes raw, but always trying to make sense of what we carry and leave behind.
