He has led these classes for Monmouth University and Project Write Now. \n“When I first started writing books\, I used to get a huge charge out of seeing my name splashed on the cover\,” Farragher says. “That’s still a thrill\, but I now get an even bigger charge seeing my name on page 2 of someone else’s book\, when they acknowledge the small part I might have played in helping them get their story out. Publishing my work in various forms has been the adventure of my life\, and I love inspiring others to take the plunge!” \nMike’s stories have leapt off the page and onto the stage and screen. He had 2 plays produced off-Broadway at The Manhattan Repertory Theater. You can view those performances on our PLAYS page: https://thisisyourbrainonshamrocks.com/the-plays/ \nHe optioned his “This Is Your Brain on Shamrocks” books for the screen; a pilot episode of a comedy series was produced and won numerous awards at film festivals on either side of the Atlantic\, including the prestigious Dublin International Comedy Film Festival. \nLearn more about Mike at his website: www.MikeFarragher.com \n\n [/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”success” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FY2WYjs3yf8vgaLZv9|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
