Advice on writing

A special edition of our monthly Village Writers meet up and all are welcome.

Join author Tanya Farrelly to discuss her approach to fiction writing. Tanya will discuss her writing process: from getting ideas to putting them down on paper, as well as opportunities to publish your work, and ways to overcome writers' block! There will be lots of opportunity for participants to ask questions during the session.

Tanya Farrelly is the author of five books: three short fiction collections: When Black Dogs Sing (Kate O’ Brien Award 2017), Nobody Needs To Know (Arlen House, 2021), and The Marionette and the Maestro (Arlen House, 2025) and two psychological thrillers: The Girl Behind the Lens and When Your Eyes Close (Harper Collins) She holds a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing from Bangor University. She teaches at numerous institutions and was appointed Arts Council Writer-in-Residence at NUI Galway in 2021. Born in Clondalkin, she often returns to her hometown to talk to writers' groups.
