About this event

Writing from the Edges: a discussion

In this stimulating discussion Ailbhe Smyth will explore with Melatu Uche Okorie and Aoife Martin why and how they came to writing. They will discuss how personal experience influences what they write and what they write about. The work in hand and the challenges of getting published will be addressed and they will tease out what it is like to be writers on the edges.
