Literary Workshops

Can you imagine spending four or maybe five glorious days in the literary capital ofIreland, surrounded by like minded writers and composers and dreamers? Can you imagine sharing your creative output in a nurturing and supportive gathering of new friends, with the guidance of some ofIreland’s leading artists and teachers? Imagine leaving this oasis of culture with a draft of the first chapter of your novel, a selection of new poems, new songs, new ideas, new inspirations and new challenges?

The workshops at Listowel Writers’ Week have been transforming these imaginings into exciting realities for over forty years; 2013 promises to build on this tradition of creativity, craft and craic.
