The Limerick Writers’ Centre is pleased to announce a mentoring service for poets. The service is aimed at those who are at intermediate level and beyond; looking to move to the next stage in their poetry writing – perhaps putting together a collection. Published poets will also find this helpful, they will be encouraged to stretch themselves and their writing and take their work forward.
The service operates on a one-to-one basis with three 45 minute sessions over a 7 to 10 day period, plus email correspondence.
Meeting will take place through Skype or Zoom. The Fee for participants is €120 payable in advance. (Cheque, Cash or PayPal)
Mentoring times will be decided between Ciaran and mentee to suit both.
