FICTIONFIRE FOCUS WORKSHOPS
In addition to these day courses held at Trinity College, I run small group Focus Workshops dealing with specific writing topics. You've missed the winter series of workshops but keep checking the website for news of upcoming workshops. Cross to the Focus Workshops page to find out more and if you are a member of a writing group and you would like me to run a workshop for you, get in touch.
