I will be chairing a writing workshop at Old Rectory Retreat near Westport this Saturday. Taking a nuts-and-bolts approach to the writing of stories (or memoirs), the aim will be for each participant to produce a solid piece of work by the end of the day. As well as writing exercises, we will be looking at key aspects of the craft such as Point of View, Conflict, Plot, and Dialogue.
Please bring, if you wish, copies of a page or two from a story or book that has impressed you. And a pen and paper…or a laptop.
The day, which costs 60 Euro, runs from 10.30am to 5pm with delicious home-made lunch included and takes place set in the delightful surroundings of Old Rectory Retreat in Knappagh, not far from Westport along the Leenane Road.
Hope you can come! For further information or to make a booking, phone Roisin at 087-776-4820 or email oldrectoryretreat@gmail.com
