Learn craft of writing well from an expert

The Craft of Writing Course given by Tribune columnist Charlie Adley will return to Galway City’s Westside Resource Centre this March and will run for eight weeks. This  course is designed for anybody who would like to improve their writing skills, from complete novices to published novelists, according to the tutor.

“Just as carpenters must learn how to use their tools, all writers benefit from learning the craft of writing. Anyone can learn this craft. There is no mystery to it,” says Charlie.

In friendly and supportive lessons, he will show people how to overcome fear and write a first draft. As well as learning how to develop characters, structure, plot and voice, participants will discover how to use shape, pace, tense and dialogue to enhance the power of their words.

With over a million published words, the columnist and prize-winning playwright will also advise people about how to sell their writing.

Charlie keeps class sizes small, so there are only 12 places available.

Charlie’s Craft of Writing Course will begin on Thursday, March 31, and will run for eight weeks from 7.15pm to 9pm nightly. The cost is  €120 /€110 concessions and the venue is Westside Resource Centre (beside the church and library with ample parking.)
