Writers in the Regions: Masterclass Series

The Irish Writers Centre is excited to announce a new initiative, Writers in the Regions, an in-person masterclass series which is aimed at broadening our reach into the vibrant writing communities around the country and bringing expertise and experience to writers at different stages of their writing journey. These one-off masterclasses will explore the craft of writing, developing plot and style and perspectives from which to tell a story. They will also cover the business of writing and publishing. These inspirational sessions, offered by some of Ireland’s most valued authors, will be open to all writers, aged 18 years and over.

Led by award-winning writers Sean O’Reilly, Kevin Barry, Mike McCormack and Danielle McLaughlin, the masterclasses will take place in-person, in Derry, Carrrick-On-Shannon, Sligo, Galway and Waterford.
