Fingal Libraries Write Time Festival was launched by the Mayor of Fingal Cllr. Howard Mahony at Blanchardstown Library on Tuesday 23rd August.
Now in its seventh year, The Write Time Festival takes place this September to celebrate the art and craft of creative writing. Throughout the month, Libraries will host free workshops and author talks to spark the imagination and inspire creativity.
Mayor of Fingal Cllr. Howard Mahony commented:
“After two years of online events, Fingal County Council are delighted to once again welcome people back to in-person events at their local Fingal library. The Write Time festival is a great place to begin if you would like to make a start on a short story, personal reflections or even a novel’ and I would encourage people to explore the range of free events on offer”.
Speaking at the launch, Fingal Libraries County Librarian, Betty Boardman said:
“This year’s Write Time festival is an exciting programme of events celebrating creativity and writing in Fingal. We would like to extend our gratitude to Festival Curator Anne McDonald who along with her fellow writers, Fiona O’Rourke, Flish McCarthy and Judi Sutherland, have produced an engaging programme of online and in-person workshops”.
There is lots to experience and discover in this year’s programme of events which includes poetry workshops, nature writing through the senses, workshops on identity, a four-week online short story workshop and an interactive panel discussion about getting your writing published.
