Presented by the Irish Writers Centre

Join our four selected IWC/DBF Young Writer Delegates as they share creative work developed during the festival with mentor Sue Rainsford.

Now in its fourth year, the Irish Writers Centre Young Writer Delegate Programme has partnered once again with the Dublin Book Festival. Four writers between the ages of 18 and 26 will be welcomed to the programme by the Irish Writers Centre. The writers will attend a variety of events at Dublin Book Festival and will be encouraged to reflect on their experiences. Their mentor Sue Rainsford will lead the writers in a series of workshops as well as providing informal advice and guidance on succeeding in and enjoying life as a writer.

At this showcase, our four selected IWC/DBF Young Writer Delegates Abby Connolly, Eilish Mulholland, Kel Menton and Róisín Ní Riain will share some of the creative work developed during the festival.
