Listowel

29 May 2013 - 02 June 2013

In 2013, Writer's Week will hold the 42nd edition of its annual literary festival in the North Kerry town of Listowel around an extensive programme of literary competitions, workshops, readings, seminars, lectures and book launches. In his opening address, for the opening of the 2012 festival, President Michael D Higgins summed up the event: 'Here in Listowel every year the Nobel Laureate and bestselling author is celebrated, the emerging voice of the poet reading in public for the first time is applauded, the draft novels and stories are discussed and encouraged. Here the writer gets to realise that he is part of a group, part of a family composed of creative individuals interested in and anxious to support each other's gift and talent.' At the heart of this annual celebration is a commitment to developing and promoting writing talent, underpinned by an organisation that works to the values of partnership, inclusivity and civic responsibility. Come and join us for five wonderful days of literature, culture, learning, art, theatre, music, and family events all taking place in the unique surroundings of Listowel.
