Following on from the very successful launch of Dermot Hayes’ memoir The Road That Rises – a boy from Kells, join Dermot Hayes and Breda Shannon for a reading of excerpts from the book followed by a talk on memoir and collaborative writing.
Storyteller Dermot and author Breda will talk about the unique collaborative process that evolved for them in the writing of The Road That Rises together, as well as the process of writing memoirs and life stories. This special Bealtaine event will be of interest to people with life experiences, who would like to record a memoir in writing but do not have the creative writing skills to take up the job, or need direction on how to find a writer to help them tell their story. A questions and answers session will follow.
