Northern Ireland

Writing workshops northern ireland covers a small, close field. Fighting Words NI and Mary Farrell are the names here, and between them they reach writers working in Belfast, Derry and the towns and townlands in between. Creative writing classes northern ireland are often run by people who know the room already, which changes what gets read aloud and what gets finished.

Fighting Words NI and Mary Farrell sit apart from the writing workshops listed under England, Scotland and Wales, and from the American tags such as California, Texas and New York. Northern Ireland is small enough that a workshop can serve Belfast, Derry and the counties around them without becoming a touring programme, and the writing that comes out of it carries a particular weight: a place where a story can be set in a city, a border town or a farm within the same afternoon's drive.
