So who are Eblana Writers? We are a collection of individuals from very different backgroups who meet with one common purpose: to develop each writer’s skills to produce work to a high standard, appropriate for publication. As a group, we attend literary events around Dublin as well as inviting speakers from all areas of the craft - from writer to publisher - to share their knowledge.

Recent speakers have included:

• Poet, Eileen Casey. Eileen has just launched her new collection Drinking the Colour Blue in which she "exhibits her skill as one of the finest poets working today."
