'I want to write, but where do I start?'

'I love writing, but I don't know where I am with it, or which way I should go with it.....'

If you're keen to write but feel you need a bit of support, encouragement and inspiration, the new season 6-week Creative Writing Courses in Dalkey are sure to give you the direction you need. Starting Saturday 17th September, with a NEW off-peak course on Tuesday Mornings, and Wednesday evenings also available, these courses offer great facilitators, small groups and affordable prices - all designed to get you writing.

'Every Wednesday evening, I walked down from Dalkey Dart Station towards the class, grinning from ear to ear.'
