The Inkwell Group

One Day Workshops

Inkwell Writers’ Workshops are structured around your busy lifestyle, packing an intensive blend of learning through lecture, conversation and practical exercises, with plenty of time for questions, into one full day.  Covering essential fiction writing technique including characterisation, dialogue and plotting and planning our workshops are designed to take you that crucial step closer to publication. They will boost your confidence, give you essential guidance on technique and inspire you to get writing.

Inkwell Workshops are run in several locations in Dublin and at Literary Festivals around the country. Please check the venue of your workshop carefully!

Places are strictly limited, so early booking is essential for all workshops.

We advise all participants to familiarise themselves with the authors’ work before each course.

If your chosen workshop is fully booked, please join the waiting list and you will be notified as soon as a place becomes available. Click on each workshop for full details.
