Discover your creativity and imagination in a creative writing workshop in Ireland. Discover your unique writing voice, explore your creative writing abilities and allow your writing to be inspired by the tranquillity and landscape of Ireland as you write fiction, personal memoir and poetry.

Enjoy our creative writing workshops and writing retreats at one of our magnificent locations:

  • The stunning landscape of the Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow, Ireland
  • The Aran Island of Inis Mór off the west coast of Ireland
  • The ancient limestone mountains of The Burren in County Clare, Ireland

The Creative Writer's Workshop encourages you to explore your imagination and understand the art of story creation, personal memoir writing and creative writing as you learn to think like a writer. You will discover and strengthen your unique writing voice, understand how to tap into your creativity and draw from the well of life experience as you learn how to imaginatively translate those experiences into words for potential story development.

Through the medium of writing and connecting with the landscape and natural environments of Ireland, you will invigorate your senses and stimulate your thoughts as you enhance your abilities to create and write. The workshop also encourages you to connect with movement, either through walking and/or stretching, which enables unity of mind and body, and facilitates creative development.

You will engage with the landscape, the stories of the ancestors and draw upon the resources of the collective universe and our individual selves to unblock the path to creativity and self-expression through writing.

You will learn the art of story creation and how to write creative stories, you will experience an unforgettable holiday, but most of all you will be inspired by your own creativity.

The Creative Writer's Workshop is also tutored as weekend and long-weekend writing workshops on the east and west coast of Ireland.

Let the door of your imagination be opened!

Be inspired.write your story.

The Creative Writer's Workshop can also be held in conjunction with Personal Development programmes as well as Arts Organisation and Festivals for adults and young people. In 2005 workshops were held in The National Library of Ireland with the James Joyce Ulysses Exhibition and at the Irish Writer's Centre in Dublin to celebrate the bi-centenary of Hans Christian Andersen.

In 2007 The Creative Writer’s Workshop was included in the birthday celebration of William Butler Yeats at the National Library of Ireland for adults and children.
