I’m Irram from Cardiff. I’ve been writing since I was a teenager and finally realised my dream as a published writer in 2023. I learned Welsh as an adult and currently have two columns with the online Welsh learner’s magazine Lingo360 (a health column as I work for the NHS and a history column as I love old things!). I am a regular story contributor to Cip, the Urdd magazine for children. I also write articles for English-language publications such as Bylines Cymru. I published two bilingual books (English/Welsh) in 2024 – a collection of poetry “Welsh, Asian and Proud” and a collection of ghost short stories “It Comes To Us All”, stocked in independent book shops throughout Wales and distributed by the Books Council of Wales. In 2025, came a follow-up ghost story collection, “What Lies Beyond” and my first collection of children’s stories titled “Betsi, The Cool Cat and other stories”. Both the 2025 books are English-only. I am currently researching for my first historical biographies, due out in 2027.
