Critique/writing groups in Dublin

Memnoch

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any critique or writing groups that meet regularly in Dublin to help each other and discuss their work etc.?

Would be grateful for any info on this.

Thanks

I've always been suspicious of writing groups, but you never know. American sitcoms do well by them.

Have you contacted the Irish Writers' Centre? They run a lot of writing courses. I've done a couple with them. The advantage is that they are a forum for writers which is encouraging. For me the disadvantage was that most others weren't interested in the same writing as I am and the quality of critique was far too 'nice' to be of much practical assistance. Likewise local writers' groups might be toothless if you're keen on very specific and brutal critique.

If it's a short story or poetry you'd like to have critiqued, you could send it - for a fee - to www.fishpublishing.com.

The most useful critique I've received came when I spent an hour with our local writer-in-residence - it was more valuable than all the hours (combined) that I spent at writing courses and writers' groups.

Hope that's of some use, Memnoch.
