Over the course of the weekend, Claire will focus on how stories are written, paying particular attention to paragraph structure, which she believes is one of the most useful aspects of writing she can teach and share with her students. 

The reading list will be sent to participants in August and will include Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Garden of Eden.

Seminars will begin promptly at 10am each morning and conclude at 4pm. There will be a mid-morning break at 11.30am, with the lunch hour beginning at 1.30pm.

A booking deposit of €500 secures your place.

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