Stories from Sliabh Bhuí – Project Summary
Askamore Community Council is interested in offering an opportunity for Creative Writing in our local area.
Writer-Facilitator Sylvia Cullen approached the group to suggest a six-week project followed by a launch, gathering together a series of stories from the environs of Sliabh Bhuí and beyond.
An application is being considered, to be made under Wexford Co. Council’s Creative Communities Scheme. This scheme covers the writer’s fee, with Askamore covering ‘in kind’ costs, as well as the cash cost of printing a booklet if desired.
Participants will be adults who are keen to try their hand at memoir writing.
No previous experience is necessary!
When this idea was put to several of the local community groups, there was a very positive response from members with a strong expression of interest in the project.
Timeline: during May/June 2023, over a six-week period, we will host the proposed series of Creative Writing Workshops at the Community Hall in Askamore, on Monday mornings.
Aim: Producing a new collection of memoir writing, will be our main goal.
Workshops: This series of workshops is an exciting opportunity for people who live in the Askamore area. Participants will each decide on a story they wish to write and receive guidance, help and encouragement along the way – sharing their own particular take on life in the locality. Participants will be free to choose their own theme, writing style and story setting – contemporary or historical.
Celebration: Our aim is to gather all the new writing together in a specially-designed booklet, which will be launched at an inclusive public event.
