Starting

presents a daytime class for all those
beginner and continuing creative writing students out there,
facilitated by Susan Millar

collection of her stories, Lights
In The Distance, was published in December 2010 by Doire Press; she
has published four collections of poetry, Big Pink Umbrella (2008), Dreams For Breakfast (2010), The God Thing (2013), & Bone Fire (2016) all with Salmon Poetry. Susan was the Featured
Fiction writer in a recent issue of the American online magazine The
Atticus Review. She is also co-organiser of the Over The Edge
reading series which specifically promotes new writers. Susan edited the
anthology Over the Edge – the first ten
years, published by Salmon, which includes work by forty seven writers who
have published a first book since they did a reading at an Over The Edge: Open
Reading in Galway City Library.
The class is suitable for both beginning and
continuing creative writing students, working in either poetry or fiction.
Students will spend their weeks responding to writing exercises designed to
inspire, rather than inhibit. In class, they will receive gentle feedback on
their work from their classmates and from the teacher. The class takes place on
Monday afternoons, 2.30-4pm, commencing on Monday, May
8th. It runs for 8 weeks.
The cost to participants is 90 Euro
with a 80 Euro concession price. Booking is essential as
places are limited. There are no refunds once the class has started. For
