Scríbhneoir agus léirmheastóir is ea Liam Mac Cóil. Tá leabhair, ailt agus aistí scríofa aige faoi chúrsaí litríochta, staire, ceoil, ealaíon agus teilifíse. Ba é an t-Athar Eoghan Ó Ghramhnaigh an mairtíreach ba mhó riamh ag Conradh na Gaeilge agus chuir siad a bhás, agus aistriú a choirp abhaile ó Mheiriceá, chun lántairbhe do chúis na teanga. Bhí curtha ar fáil aige na leabhairíní ba mhó a chabhraigh ní hamháin le foghlaimeoirí ach leis na Gaeilgeoirí a bhí ag iarraidh scríobh agus léamh a fhoghlaim, na Simple Lessons úd.
