Literary Events in Dublin — Your Complete Guide
Dublin's literary scene is a rich, year-round tapestry of book clubs, author events, poetry nights, writing workshops, literary festivals, and storytelling sessions that reflect the depth of the city's creative writing culture.
Author events in Dublin range from intimate bookshop readings to ticketed talks at major venues, and the city benefits from a strong relationship with some of the UK's most celebrated writers who call it home. Publisher launch events, long-form literary conversations, and book club tie-in discussions with authors all feature regularly in the city's literary calendar.
Poetry thrives in Dublin: open mic poetry nights, slam competitions, dedicated poetry festivals and community writing groups give both emerging and established poets a platform and an audience. Spoken word — which blends poetry, performance, storytelling and social commentary — has deep roots in the city and continues to attract new voices.
For aspiring writers, Dublin's workshop programme is outstanding. Courses and sessions in short fiction, novel-writing, screenwriting, personal essay, playwriting and poetry are offered by independent tutors, writing organisations and literary centres throughout the year. Many are open to absolute beginners, and several Dublin-based literary prizes and competitions provide tangible goals to write towards.
