The initiative builds on the group\u2019s established commitment to disciplined creative practice and aims to deepen<br \/>both technical capacity and public engagement within the local cultural landscape.<br \/>The programme will engage a professional creative practitioner to deliver two workshops in poetry, two in short-form writing and two in song-based storytelling. Each strand will combine practical craft development with reflective learning. Participants will focus on voice, structure, imagery, rhythm, narrative arc and editing discipline. Emphasis will be placed on moving from draft material to refined, publication-ready work. The workshops will provide a structured but supportive environment in which writers can test ideas, receive constructive feedback and strengthen their individual style.<br \/>Approximately 12\u201315 adult participants will take part. Participation will be open to existing members of the Writers\u2019 Group as well as new writers from the wider Roscommon community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":40731,"template":"","class_list":["post-40730","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Stories that Connect: Promising Pages - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Promising Pages, Roscommon Town Library Writers\u2019 Group proposes a structured creative development programme comprising six professionally facilitated workshops designed to strengthen participants\u2019 expressive voice, storytelling craft and creative confidence.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/stories-that-connect-promising-pages\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Stories that Connect: Promising Pages - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Promising Pages, Roscommon Town Library Writers\u2019 Group proposes a structured creative development programme comprising six professionally facilitated workshops designed to strengthen participants\u2019 expressive voice, storytelling craft and creative confidence.
