Hollyfort Writers

  Hollyfort and Gorey Writers and friends  with Haiku facilitator Maeve O'Sullivan In 2024, the Hollyfort Writers group participated in three workshops facilitated in their lovely venue, Hollyfort Old School. Chairperson Bernie Walsh welcomed Anne McLoughlin with her workshop on short story writing, Jackie Hayden and his workshop on Novel writing, and Maeve O’Sullivan on Haiku and meditation workshop. These courses were very instructive and much enjoyed. The group returns in September 2025 for another year of writing and fun!

  Hollyfort Writers launched their first book of poetry and short stories, Write By The Fire, on  Saturday 23rd November '24 at 7.30pm in Hollyfort Old School. Acclaimed actor Garrett Lombard launched this excellent book, to a packed house. The night included readings from the book and a lively performance by Elaine and her bodhran group recently started in the Old School. The book is €10 (Boland Press) and can be purchased from any of the Hollyfort Writers or the publishers.
