Creative writing is a fun hobby to have, but it can be a lonely enterprise too. So if you are a closet writer, you could do worse than enter the Open Mic event at the forthcoming writing festival, Dalkey Creates, to be held in the beautiful seaside town of Dalkey, Co. Dublin on Sunday next, 19th October at 2pm.

The lovely Hazel Gaynor (New York Times Bestselling author no less) will be on-hand to keep everyone to their allotted 5 minutes, and you can read ANYTHING – poetry, prose, whatever you are writing.  It’s a great opportunity to get feedback on your work from a real, live audience!

Check out www.DalkeyCreates.com for booking details.  It’s only €5 to enter, so you have no excuses.  Write on!
