Prose Workshop with Tim MacGabhann
In partnership with the Irish Writers Centre.
Feel frustrated with your story? It’s not because you don’t know what you want: it’s because your characters don’t. This workshop, with author and poet
Tim MacGabhann,
features exercises for getting to know your characters’ desires, and setting them in motion, therefore animating your short story or novel-in-progress. The way that this macro level of the story is borne out at the level of the sentence will also be considered, with a view to producing cleaner and more transparent prose.
Please note we may be capturing candid imagery at this event for use on our social media and website.
Tim MacGabhann
is the author of the novels
Call Him Mine
(2019) and
How to Be
Nowhere
(2020), the memoir
The Black Pool
(2025), the short story collection
Saints

Destruction (
