Literary Festival Workshops

The WCLF workshop programme is aimed at both novice and experienced writers. Our workshops provide opportunities for development and intensive learning not possible in one sitting. Our workshops are run by experienced tutors many of whom are award-winning writers and/or teach creative writing at third level and offer immense value to participating writers. Please note that as with any workshop scenario, each tutor will have their own unique teaching style. Several of the writers who have taken these workshops have gone on to publish and have returned to the festival to read from their work.
