The author Nuala Ní Chonchúir reflects on the significance of her writing space, particularly highlighting a desk gifted by renowned author Margaret Atwood. This gesture came after the success of her book, Zen and the Art of Uterus Maintenance, which reached a milestone of selling one million copies.

Atwood's encouragement emphasized the importance of having a dedicated place to write, steering Ní Chonchúir away from unconventional settings like a bus shelter. This underscores the transformative impact that recognition and support from established writers can have on emerging authors.
