Manchán and David

The partnership behind the pages.

Manchán Magan and David Brennan have built a dynamic partnership over the past few years, creating remarkable books like Focail na mBan and the recent Brehons & Brahmins. Their collaboration began when Manchán's acclaimed 32 Words for Field was published during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when physical bookshops were closed.

To address this challenge, David suggested that Manchán sell the book on his online bookshop, MayoBooks.ie. But David is more than a bookseller—he is the publisher behind Mayo Book Press, which played a key role in their collaboration.

This combination of Manchán’s literary talents and David’s publishing expertise has been central to their success, allowing them to produce a range of books that celebrate Irish culture, with more exciting projects on the horizon.
