Upcoming teaching

Just a little heads-up about some upcoming teaching of creative writing I’ll be doing in Dublin over the next while, at the lovely Big Smoke Writing Factory:

a Beginning To Write Fiction class, for absolute beginners or for people who’ve written a bit but want some idea about the basics (how to develop characters, think about plot, consider viewpoint, approach dialogue, etc) [6 weeks, Tuesday evenings from April 14th]

a Novel In Progress workshop, which is for people who’ve taken classes previously, are familiar with getting and giving constructive criticism, and are working on novels of all genres [6 weeks, Thursday evenings from April 23rd]

a half-day seminar on Cover Letters and Synopses, for anyone getting ready to send work out to publishers or agents [Saturday April 25th]

a one-day Introduction to Children’s Fiction, for anyone who’s ever thought about writing for kids or teens but doesn’t know where to start [Saturday May 2nd]

a one-day Children’s Fiction Workshop, for people who know they’re writing for kids or teens, have a project on the go, and want to get feedback on that work [Saturday May 23rd]

a session on our Inverse writing workshop for LGBTQ+ youth (17-20), which I’m really excited about [course begins Saturday April 11th]

I’ll be teaching on our summer Dublin Young Authors programme along with the legendary Dave Lordan – for talented and ambitious teens aged 14-17(ish) [Monday July 29th – Friday July 3rd]
