Masterclasses
Ideal for writers looking to acquire the tools and confidence to take their practice to the next level.
Masterclasses
In 2025, we launched a new masterclass series delivered by a range of experienced and critically acclaimed writers.
Masterclass: a single talk by an expert experienced writer, with a Q&A.
Taking place either in-person in the Irish Writers Centre (Dublin) or online, these one off events are ideal for writers looking to acquire the tools and confidence to take their practice to the next level.
All masterclasses are listed over on our courses page, and upcoming masterclasses will be delivered by Madeleine Keane, Martina Devlin, and Sheila O’Flanagan.
