Workshop: Finding Writing Inspiration in the Everyday with Aoife Barry

Time and date

Monday 15 July 2024

3 days

9:30 am

2:30 pm

This workshop will run from Monday 15 to Wednesday 17 July, from 9.30am to 2.30pm each day with two breaks built in to each day.

This three-day workshop is for beginner and emerging writers who want to write nonfiction pieces, whether for submission (like radio essays and personal essays) or self-publishing online (blogs and newsletters). To write, we need ideas and inspiration. In this workshop, we will look at how to find writing inspiration in your everyday life and experiences; discover how ‘noticing’ is the key to sparking inspiration; will read examples from writers who mine from their everyday life; use writing prompts to write together in class; and learn the basic building blocks for writing a well-structured non-fiction piece.
