Deadlines, Audience, Mentoring, Diary: this six month intensive writing programme begins again in January 2027. It’s ideal for people wanting to write a memoir, a novel or a collection of short stories. Every two weeks you’ll submit up to 7000 words to me for constructive feedback and encouragement. There are ten submission dates, so you could complete or make substantial progress on your book. Places are limited.
Author: Finuala Dowling
Start writing your memoirs
From June to September I’ll be offering a repeat of this course which is designed to get both beginners and more experienced writers started on their memoirs.
After the people closest to us, and in some cases before them, what we most love is a remembered place.
