Every year we support over 2,500 emerging and established writers through our Academy of creative writing courses, mentorships, competitions, development programmes and residencies. Many thousands more engage with our events and outreach initiatives. We are committed to opening up access to writers from backgrounds currently underrepresented in Irish literature, and continually advocate for writers across the island as they illuminate our lives with their ideas and words. We sincerely appreciate your support in helping to foster the Irish literature of the future.
