You are invited to participate initially on Monday nights by Zoom but we will also have a single monthly meeting live in Dublin as well at a restaurant or coffee shop.
Our first meeting will help us determine what people want to cover and the order of the optional sessions below. There will be options on motivation, indie publishing, editing, and it’s not just me talking. There will be speakers from this year and previous years attending at regular intervals. More speakers will be added too!
This is a real opportunity to engage with some of our great speakers and also to meet up live wherever you are in the world.
8:00 p.m. Ireland | 3:00 p.m. Eastern | 12:00 noon Pacific

We’d really love to keep the energy and connections of the International Dublin Writers Festival going throughout the year.
Our new Monday Night Writers’ Sessions will feature three Zoom events each month and one in-person gathering in central Dublin.
Each session will be practical, friendly and interactive.

A practical introduction to Amazon, Facebook and Instagram advertising: what makes an effective ad, targeting readers, setting budgets, understanding results and knowing when to stop, change or scale an ad.
We’ll kick off with one important question:
What’s stopping you moving forward as a writer?
We’ll also explore what you would like from these sessions.
Instead of waiting until the next festival to reconnect, let’s keep the writers’ community going throughout the year.
