Welcome to Writing for Publishing

– education, assistance, advice for authors, writers, independent publishers –

Writing for Publishing is an educational programme that has been specially devised for authors, writers, anyone interested in writing to and for a public audience. The purpose is to help prospective authors to enhance and develop their writing and presentation skills, with a view to getting their work published, produced, performed. We regard writing and publishing as separate aspects of the same continuum, which feed and inform each other, the primary aim being to connect authors and writers with their audience and readership.

Among the subjects and themes covered by our course content include:

• Writing styles and genres – the art of storytelling

• Design and presentation

• Writing as a career

• Overview of the book publishing process

• Self-publishing

• e-Publishing

• The worldwide web

This course will be available at venues all over Ireland and will run throughout the year. It is also intended to make it available via remote and distance-learning techniques, for those who are prevented from attending in person.

Details of times, dates, venues, etc will be posted to this website (see our Calendar of Events), as well as on social media – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn – where we invite you to follow us too.

We encourage you to keep in touch by subscribing to our e-news service, as a means of staying up-to-date and keeping informed. You will receive periodic updates by e-mail of news and important developments, announcements, including new course materials as they become available.

We welcome enquiries from individuals and groups interested in booking day seminars and sessions with us, which can also be tailored to areas of interest among participants.
