Ever since West Cork Literary Festival’s inception in the late 1990s, workshops for adults have been at the heart of the programme. Encouraging both novice and experienced writers, they cover many areas of the discipline, from how to get published to how to get past page one. Our five-day workshops, still quite unique among Irish literary festivals, provide week-long opportunities for development and intensive learning not possible in one sitting. Three-day workshops are also programmed to allow for a shorter but no less intensive learning experience. Yet another highlight is the Editor-in-Residence whose one-to-one sessions were tremendously popular in 2012, selling out in record time.
Fees: €160 (5-day); €100 (3-day)
*There will be an additional fee for the ferry to/from Whiddy Island for the Travel Writing Workshop.
Dates & Times: All workshops run concurrently 9.30am-12.30pm
Mon-Fri, 8-12 July 2013 (5-day) & Mon-Wed, 8-10 July 2013 (3-day)
