Join us for a showcase of short readings from fresh, dynamic and diverse emerging voices. Four students from UCC’s MA in Creative Writing, Evelyne Cynk, Ciara Dunne, Parrish Finn and Beatriz Capelo Ramos, will read from their works-in-progress in fiction and memoir, introduced by Danny Denton, author and lecturer in creative writing.

 

UCC’s MA in Creative Writing is designed to enable writers to develop their practice in a supportive environment, and to give them the tools to unlock the book within, be it fiction, memoir or poetry. As well as honing the techniques and craft of creative writing, the MA introduces students to the publishing industry and Ireland’s thriving community of literary practice.
