Irish Writers Centre: Writing Magical Realism with Tanya Farrelly
Tue 5 May 2026 to Tue 23 Jun 2026
In this eight-week online course we will be exploring what defines and differentiates Magical Realism from genres such as fantasy or absurdist fiction.

Through a range of readings and writing exercises, we will examine the main elements of Magical Realism, focusing on the importance of character, atmosphere, setting and story structures, as well as the influence of the tradition fairytale, ghost stories, and the use of ‘miracles’ or uncanny events.

With the aid of writing prompts, participants will have the chance to put into practice what they have learned, receiving feedback on their work in a fun and supportive environment.

Dates: Tuesdays at 6.30 pm - 8.30 pm, 5 May - 23 June 2026
Location: Online
Cost: €250 (€225 Members)
