Creative Writing Workshops

A New Series of 10 Weekly Workshops

Tuesday evenings 7.30 - 10.30

28th September—30th November 2010

at
Órfhlaith Ní Chonaill's House, Strandhill

Write with others in a small group and in a safe and supportive environment. Órfhlaith uses the AWA (Amherst Writers & Artists) method as developed by Pat Schneider. Writing is done together, seated in a circle, and writers are encouraged, but not obliged, to read their work to the group. We respond with what we like in the piece, what is strong and what stays with us. All writing is treated as fiction and newborn material is not open to criticism. Critiquing is kept for a later stage, when the writing is typed up and ready for more robust treatment.

The workshop is open to all writers, male and female, from teenagers to centenarians, working in all genres. Newcomers and beginners are always welcome. This type of group works best when there is a good mixture of writers and writing projects, because we all learn from each other. The newest writer is often the most free and original. We all begin somewhere. And we all begin again with each blank page.
