Over the course of a 90-minute session, the Irish short story writer Kevin Barry will talk about the intricacies, the techniques, and the particular challenges of the short fiction form. The masterclass will cover the sparks of inspiration that might lead to a story, and the subsequent honing of those ideas to bring a story home. Beginnings, endings, dialogue, character, description – all these areas will be covered in a very open, freewheeling and conversational session.

Maximum capacity of 40 participants.
