Workshop: Creatively Writing

Summer Camps, , , ,

Fiona is running two concurrent Creative Writing Workshops at the moment. They meet at the following times in Westport:

  • Tuesdays 7.30pm-9.30pm
  • Fridays 10am-12pm

at Sharkey Hill Community Centre (Fairways) . [Map/Directions]

In her classes, writers work on all forms of fiction and some work on non-fiction. All levels are welcome. Cost is €120 for an 8 week block.

Fiona is setting a 10-minute Play Challenge:

“ever thought of writing a 10 minute play? I’m trying to encourage local writers to work on 10-minute plays. If we can gather 5-6 good ones, we hope to mount a staged-reading of them in Westport later this year.”

Workshop: One Day Immersion

Summer Camps

Come to our next one-day immersion class in fiction writing.

Whether you are a seasoned scribe, or trying your hand at writing for the first time, this day may be for you. Beginning with a rapid overview of writing forms, followed by short discussions about character, plot, description and point of view, the writers will then work on a number of exercises designed to hone their skills in each area. The day is fast-paced and fun, with a strong emphasis on unleashing the writer’s creativity in a highly conducive setting at the Old Rectory Retreat, in Knappagh, Westport, Co. Mayo.

  • When: Saturday, April 17th, 2010, 10am-4pm
  • Where: Old Rectory Retreat, Knappagh, Westport, Co. Mayo

On Sunday, April 18th, Fiona would be happy to meet with writers for one-on-one sessions, to discuss the previous day’s work. Appointments can be made on the day of the workshop or by contacting Fiona directly. Check out Old Rectory Retreat, in Knappagh, Westport, Co. Mayo.
