This course is designed for those who wish to study the structure of short stories and deepen their understanding of how fiction works with Claire Keegan. The list of stories to be studied will be sent out well before the course begins. The material will focus on stories set in winter by Anton Chekhov and other Russian authors.

This course is non-residential; participants are responsible for sourcing their own accommodation and meals. Tea, coffee & pastries will be served mid-morning. Several buses and trains run between Dublin City Centre and Wexford Town daily. Whites Hotel is just a 5 minute walk from the train station/bus stop. Hotel parking is available.

Anyone with an interest in reading or writing fiction is most welcome to attend.
