‘“Plot” is too crass a word for the slow, graceful scanning and hovering of some stories, and too suave a word for the lowly snuffling and tracking of others.’ Valerie Trueblood

Through writing, reflection and rewriting, participants will work on producing one or more short stories. We will work hard. We will laugh. We will hate our stories and learn to love them again.

Paddy O’Reilly’s stories have won awards and been published nationally and internationally, as well as in her collection, The End of the World. Her latest novel is The Fine Colour of Rust (Blue Door HarperCollins, 2012).
