Creative Writing Classes
My Creative writing classes focus on the heritage of place. From January to March 2020, I ran a creative writing programme called Shaped by the Sea in association with Mid & East Antrim Council and the St.Art Peace IV initiative. This resulted in an anthology of historical creative writing, memoir, poems, fiction and song.
Beginning 19 March 2020, I will be running a project in called Gateway & Glens. This project will celebrate creative writing across County Antrim with a focus on the heritage of the tourism from Larne to the Glens. This is a six-week project that will result in an anthology.
