There are lots of great new
courses on offer at the IWC for 2013 including ‘Writing The Novella’ with Eoin
McNamee. It's on for 10 weeks from 21st January to 25th March;
Mondays 6.30-8.30pm.
Fee: €280/€260 members. Booking here.
This is from the IWC site:
Stephen King, in publishing a
collection of his novellas, described the form as ‘an ill-defined and
disreputable literary banana republic.’ That is to say a good thing. This
ten-week workshop will be based around this unique form and is aimed at people
who are working, or thinking about working towards completing a novella, those
who have started a short story that looks as if it might outgrow the limits of
the form, or a novel which may not fit the conventional length. It will be less
concerned about the technicalities of what the form might be, and more
concerned with getting words on paper, and hopefully having something to show
at the end of the workshop.
Eoin McNamee is the author of
fifteen novels including Resurrection Man (released as a film in 1998), Booker
nominated The Blue Tango and Orchid Blue, and the novellas Last of Deeds
(shortlisted for the Irish Times Literature Prize) and Love in History.
