A great new event at the Dublin Book Festival - a professional development day for writers. This looks brilliant and I am definitely going. I am always moaning about the lack of supports for mid-career writers (everything seems to be aimed at newbies or famous people), so I am thrilled to see New Island and the Irish Writers' Centre presenting such a practical workshop at a good price.
