Workshop: Finding Writing Inspiration in the Everyday with Aoife Barry

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.

Max: 15 participants
