The West Cork Literary Festival has a good name and attracts some impressive workshop facilitators.
This year it's 7th to 11th July in Bantry.
All the Workshops run concurrently so you have to choose one. 5 half days can get quite intensive.
Venue: Ardscoil Phobal, Chapel Street.
09.30-12.30 Monday-Friday, 7-11 July *except screenwriting, which is 14.30 - 16.30
Max. 15 places on each workshop unless stated otherwise
Price: €175 for five days (quite reasonable I think)

Google the names first so you know what you're getting. I have been to workshops with 3 of these and they were not all of the same high standard, let me tell you!

You cant just leave it at that.Which ones do you recommend? (You can surely do that without criticising anyone else, eh?)
I would suggest Carlo Gabler, Peter Fallon and perhaps Damien Lewis and Veronica Coburn but it depends where your interests lie.
