Getting It Done with Oisín Fagan

We are delighted to announce the third in our new series of workshops for emerging writers – Getting It Done with Oisín Fagan.

About the workshop

To work through and finish a manuscript requires time, faith, discipline, but also ease and relaxation. In this one-day workshop writers will become familiar with several practical tools and mental techniques that will help them achieve and maintain the endurance and balance necessary to see through to completion a long-term project. Although this workshop is aimed at those wishing to complete a work they have already started, or perhaps abandoned, it would also prove useful to anyone hoping to reconnect with the daily practice of writing, overcome writer’s block, or develop their self-confidence.

This is the third in a series of workshops for emerging writers to be held at the Irish Writers Centre in 2025. In a gesture of equitability towards low-income writers, the price of each workshop has been capped at €25.
