Strandhill Summerfest 2010
A Weekend Feast of Creative Writing
2nd July - 4th July 2010
With Órfhlaith Ní Chonaill, Ted & Annie Deppe & Joe Kearney
Strandhill Summerfest is a weekend celebration of writing. It brings writers of all ages, beginners and advanced, together in a gentle, supportive environment where they feel safe to create new work.
The four facilitators are all published writers whose aim is to nurture new writing from the participants.
Órfhlaith Ní Chonaill’s workshops use the AWA method devised by Pat Schneider. These are multi-genre workshops which evoke and enable writing and encourage writers to find and use their own voices confidently.
Ted & Annie Deppe are skilled poets and teachers whose poetry workshops are gentle, inspirational and challenging.
Joe Kearney is a writer and broadcaster whose voice is familiar to Lyric FM and RTE Radio One listeners. Joe offers an insider view of writing for radio.
The Summerfest will be held in the home of Órfhlaith Ní Chonaill in Strandhill, Co. Sligo.
Early booking is advisable as numbers are limited. Please see website for further details and booking form or
