Words Ireland @ ILFDublin: A National Day for Writers
[perfectpullquote align=”right” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]On Friday 25 May, Words Ireland is hosting a national get together for writers at IMMA in partnership with the International Literature Festival Dublin[/perfectpullquote]
Words Ireland is creating the ideal environment for writers – a conference where writers will gather together, reflect on their creative and professional practice, catch up with industry leaders and be inspired.
There’ll be events throughout the day, including manifestos, lectures, writers meetings and project presentations, industry insight, discussion and debate from over thirty speakers. It will be a day of information and inspiration to help you sustain and evolve your writing life.
Also, in the Great Hall at IMMA, you can sit down and chat with 40 literature organisations to find out about creative and professional opportunities, catch up with old friends and colleagues or meet new ones. There’ll be an opportunity for 10 writers to pitched published work to 10 film directors too.
Early-bird tickets are on sale now: €45 for the day, or €120 for groups of three writers (tell a writer friend!). Ticket price includes lunch, teas and coffees, and closing drinks reception from Kinnegar Brewing. Click here for full details and booking.
Submissions are open for all HeadStuff poetry categories, including Poem of The Week (Every Friday), Unbound (longer sequence of poems from a single poet), and New Voices (submissions from poets under the age of 30.) We accept both written, audio and video recorded poems as long as the quality of the audio and video is of a high standard.
