Short Fiction Workshop
Join Mia Gallagher for a two-hour unpacking of the craft of the short story. Participants are invited to bring their own stories - and the challenges they may be experiencing with them - for an engaging exploration around this most potent artform. What makes a story good? What makes it better? When is it enough? Bring questions too – and be prepared to play!
Sunday 2 June
Aistear Gallery, Mountshannon
3 to 5pm
