In 2009 she co-founded the Sunday Times Short Story Award with the former Faber and Faber managing director and chairman Matthew Evans.

Galvin holds UK and Irish citizenship, and responded as a poet to the Haddon Dixon Repatriation Project to return skulls stolen by ethnologists in the 19th century to Irish west coast cemeteries; part of the resulting work was published in Poetry London (Spring Issue, 2022)). As a poet, she is the recipient of a Hawthornden Fellowship, a Heinrich Böll residency on Achill Island, and an Arts Council England DYCP award. Her poetry has been nominated twice for Ireland’s Listowel poetry prize. Her work has appeared in publications including the Morning Star, The London Magazine, Agenda, High Windows, and 14 Magazine. David Morley, winner of the Ted Hughes Award, wrote of her work Black and Blue: “A crown of sonnets seems at first an intractable and even intimidating prospect. When a writer confidently inhabits its spaces the crown becomes an arena of grace. This is such a performance.” Alison Brackenbury wrote in P. N. Review of Galvin’s work Rough Translation that she “translates life into elemental cycles”, and Ian Pople wrote in the Manchester Review of Walking the Coventry Ring Road With Lady Godiva as “a technical tour-de-force combining the Latin Mass with the argot of two-tone”. Galvin is a PhD candidate in the Department of English and Creative Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London. She lives in Cornwall. Bibliography Poetry Black and Blue. The Melos Press. 2014.
