THE WRITE STUFF
TERRY PRONE AND THE ART OF WRITING.

WORDS: NESSA O' MAHONY

Terry Prone has been at the forefront of communications in Ireland for more than three decades. Training as an Abbey actress in the 1960s, she moved into broadcasting before going to work with former RTÉ colleague Bunny Carr in the fledging media training company, Carr Communications. She has served on various State Boards, including the Arts Council and the Independent Radio and Television Commission.

A prolific author of fiction and non-fiction, she has won awards for her short stories, published novels and written several best-selling ‘how to’ books. The most recent addition to her non-fiction stable is This Business of Writing, a guide to writing and editing which she has co-authored with Kieran Lyons of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland.
