“Act the maggot took me to a place I haven’t been since I was a child. A place of pure joy. You meet great people from all walks of life and form firm friendships. I got to express myself in a way that I could never do in any conventional adult learning scenario and it made me feel like I was 10 feet tall.”
– Shane Lynam, Director, Elearn.ie

Exciting creative writing class

It was so lovely to meet the new bunch of scribblers tonite for the first in a series of six creative writing classes I am running in the lovely Gateway space, Rathmines. 

We got down to scribbling pretty quickly and managed to squeeze in a chocolate-fuelled tea break to boot. They’ve been sent off with short writing assignments for next Tuesday, their heads full of characters and possible plots already. A great array of talent with varied interests and tastes and, as always, a super bunch of maggots! Looking forward to next week already.

Funny story on Creative Writing

followdream
Tapping into one’s creativity, revealing oneself through stories and writing exercises with a group of like-minded aspiring writers can be a lot of fun but it also has its challenges.

For all of you who know what it is like to be part of a creative writing group or are about to learn, this short story by Lucas Gardner published in The New Yorker is hilarious.

Join us next week in Rathmines for a fun, creative writing class. There are still some places left. It starts Tuesday, May 10th and runs for six weeks. 7.30-9.30pm – €180 per course. To book your place, call 087 374 4926 or actthemaggot@gmail.com

Creative Writing Testimonial


Amy is an inspiration! I took part in her Act the Maggot class and
creative writing class 3 years ago. What a fabulous opportunity to reach your inner creativity, in a safe, nurturing environment. Loved every minute of it.

Our next creative writing class starts Tuesday, May 10 for 6 weeks in Rathmines (7.30-9.30pm) €180 per course.

Hennessy New Writing Awards

This should be of interest to beginner writers out there and provide some inspiration and future reading lists. Here is a link to a short article featuring the nominees for this year’s Hennessy 2016 Literary Awards. There is a nice blurb about each writer in their category and the focus in on beginnings, how their story was inspired, what was it’s organic starting point. Interesting stuff. Best of luck to Niall McArdle and Nathalie Ryan. If you are keen to find a good writing group in Dublin, why not try our next course starting May 10th, 2016.
