British by birth, Course Convenor Vanessa O’Loughlin is a writer, and the busy mother of two small children.

INKwell was born from Vanessa’s appreciation of how influential published authors can be on new writers, and the guidance and inspiration they can offer.

Over the years Vanessa has been privileged to have met many authors and literary professionals who have shaped and improved her writing. INKwell is a product of this experience and, whether kick-starting your own creativity or helping you polish your style, will take you a step closer to your goal.

Since establishing INKwell, Vanessa’s own writing has gone from strength to strength. 2007 saw her win third place in the RTE Seoige and O’Shea/Poolbeg Do the Write Thing short story competition, as well as second place in the Today With Pat Kenny/RTE Guide and Mills and Boon Romance short story competition.

Vanessa has recently signed with a major London based Literary Agent and is looking forward to seeing her first book in print.

She is also a contributor to Mum's The Word: The Truth About Motherhood, a collection of short stories from thirty three of Ireland’s top women writers.
