Creative Community Sessions was created by Jennifer McMahon (@AuthorJmcm) to bring together emerging writers to deliver talks on all aspects of the craft. IrelandJoined September 2024
“Do we want writing and stories… that reaffirm existing prejudices, or that challenge those prejudices and open us to other ways of thinking and being in the world.”
Aisling Walsh discusses the importance of building an inclusive writing community.
