If you’re a committed writer you’ll know all about the benefits of continuing education and there are few places better equipped to help emerging and practicing writers than the Irish Writers’ Centre.

They’ve just launched their new programme of writing courses and there is literally something for everyone.

Their courses are helpfully divided into sectors, designed to help you identify your own level as a writer and to encourage you to try new courses. The sectors are:

Beginner: For the novice writer, these courses will help you find your way into your own writing through practical, creative and supportive means with an experienced professional facilitator.

Emerging: For writers who have dabbled and attended courses in the past, the emerging series will allow you to perfect your skills and develop your creative abilities.

Specialised: Workshops for writers who are curious to come out of the comfort zone or to gain new ideas and skills in different forms, genres or styles.

Professional Development: Led by industry professionals, these workshops are designed to help the writer to work on essential skills that are part and parcel of being a professional writer in the public eye.

Just some of the facilitators teaching are:

• Sarah Webb
• Ferdia MacAnna
• Louise Philips
• Conor Kostick
• Catherine Dunne
