Are you writing for young people? Would you like a residential week at Lisnavagh House, Co. Carlow, to focus on your work?

I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be joining the wonderful Sheena Wilkinson and Patricia Ford at The Story House from Monday 20th – Saturday 25th February 2017, to bring you a week dedicated to writing for young people. Through relevant writing exercises, group discussion and one-to-one sessions, you will gain practical knowledge that you can apply to your own work in progress.

This course is aimed at anyone interested in writing fiction for young people and is limited to 12 participants (– I have it on good authority that there are at least three bookings already!). From the art of re-drafting to navigating the contemporary publishing world, we will help you to develop as a writer for this exciting age group.

You can read more about the week here. Hope to see you there!
