Jonathan Swift Festival 2019 - Creative Writing Workshop
Fighting Words is delighted once again to host a workshop as part of this year's Jonathan Swift Festival!
The workshop will start with a brief talk about the buildings of the Georgian period with Ruth Kenny, Education Officer at Christ Church Cathedral. We will then start a story together - who or what is behind the facade of these old buildings? There will also be time to work individually. As always, Fighting Words writing tutors will be on hand to lend a hand.
We are absolutely thrilled that Ghost Quest received Honourable Mention in the Social Recognition category at the @dublinanimationfestival on Saturday 19th October!
