Aspiring writers resolute start to the New Year

Aspiring writers, and more established ones too, can make a resolute start to the New Year, by running away to Inisbofin with Yvonne Cullen.

“I’ll be standing on the pier with a big smile on my face as you come in” says the poet and author, whose island jaunts, as she calls them, offer two options: there’s a “start to write” course and a writing retreat.

There are places for a dozen or so enthusiasts for the December 29th to January 4th or 5th slot. Prices, including tuition, island accommodation and food, are from €550 to €600.
