Dingle Writing Courses

Aspiring writers invited to apply for bursary

If you’re a writer who’s hungry to learn more about your craft but can’t afford to take it further, Dingle Writing Courses may have the answer (www.dinglewritingcourses.ie).
In association with Kerry County Council, Dingle Writing Courses is offering one Kerry writer the chance to take an intensive weekend writing course this autumn, at a fraction of the normal fee.
The winner of the bursary will work with one of Ireland’s top writers in one of west Kerry’s most scenic spots. Tigh Aine sits on the tip of the Dingle Peninsula overlooking the magnificent Clothar Head and Strand, and in between tutoring sessions course participants are treated to stunning views and the best of home-cooked food.
The winner of the bursary can choose from one of the following courses:

• Poetry with Maurice Riordan, September 19-21,


• Children’s Fiction with Malachy Doyle, September 26 – 28,


• Starting to Write with Enda Wyley, October 10-12,


• Fiction with Claire Kilroy, October 17-19.

To coincide with the courses each tutor will give a public reading at lunchtime in the Dingle Bookshop on the Friday the course begins.
