GALWAY POET and short story writer Susan Millar DuMars will host a new writers’ course, entitled Writers At Work, to help people realise a project.
The course is open to anyone at work on a novel, short story, collection of stories, poems, a play, or film script.
Participants’ only homework each week will be to read two 15 page extracts from other students’ manuscripts and be prepared for a 20-30 minute discussion on same.
Each participant will experience at least one such session of feedback on their own work. An in-class writing exercise at the start of each class will serve to “further shake off mental cobwebs, and perhaps lead us into new writing,” says Susan.
The course takes place on Tuesdays from 2pm to 4pm, starting on February 7 and runs for six weeks. Places must be booked in advance. The cost is €85/75. To register contact Galway Arts Centre, 47 Dominick Street on 091 - 565886 or email [email protected]
