Irish Writers’ Centre

The Irish Writers’ Centre is a non-​profit organisation, aimed at promoting literature and writers in Ireland. I did a creative writing course here some time ago and it is really a beautiful building — so old and historic and in a lovely part of town too, Parnell Square.
The course itself that I took, however, wasn’t all that great. All the students were my age and older, ie 30 and 40-​somethings, but the tutor was all of 20, which I didn’t approve of. She was a published writer yes, but of children’s books, and I’m sure she knew what she was talking about up to a point, but she was also still completing her degree in college.
I just felt that someone that young wasn’t quite ready to be teaching a creative writing class. I didn’t discuss this with the rest of the people on the course, but I suspect a lot of them had similar opinions as attendance was quite bad for the term.

The Irish writers centre is an organisation that helps writers and would be writers develop their talents. They do this by running courses, workshops and giving guidance with writing related issues.
The building is magnificent, an old Georgian building with impressive original artwork on every floor.
Membership of the centre allows you to use the resources and work quietly on your work during office hours.
