KILMORE QUAY ZOOM ROOM TO WRITE.

‘Write Here Write Now’ is the title of the next Write by the Sea Literary Festival’s Room to Write Workshop facilitated by music journalist, editor and author Jackie Hayden online by Zoom on June 20 (10 a.m. – 11.30 a.m.). The workshop will focus on memoir writing. Jackie is one of Ireland’s most respected writers with more than 15 books to his credit.

Speaking about the workshop, Jackie said: ‘In my workshop, designed for writers and aspiring writers of any level, I give prompts and triggers to help participants to get their words down on paper or up on their screens – and they are frequently surprised by what they can produce once they make a start.’.

To book a place on the ‘Write Here Write Now’ Zoom workshop go to writebythesea.ie. And don’t forget the €1,000 Prize Pot for the Write By the Sea Writing Competition, closing date Friday, July 10.
