15th September: Wednesdays 6.30-8.30pm.

We all have a book in us, don’t we? Do you want to find out if you do? If you’ve always had that yen to pick up a pen and try writing something – a story, a poem, a memoir– why not come along to the Irish Writers Centre and sign up for the Beginners’ Creative Writing course with tutor Nessa O’Mahony?

During the ten weeks of the course, we’ll explore that mysterious thing called inspiration as well as discussing the craft of writing. We’ll be looking at subjects such as what makes a good character, how you describe a setting, getting plots right and using imagery. The approach will consist of a combination of in-class tuition and exercises and peer critiquing of work in progress. The focus will be on producing work and learning how to edit it.
