copyright ends on Joyce
The
Irish Writers’ Union offered an exciting opportunity to
one of its members in 2012. A bursary was inaugurated to be
granted by the Union to a member whom the Committee felt might
benefit from a week at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig,
Newbliss, in Co Monaghan. To be considered for this bursary,
members were invited to send in their current details, together
with a statement of artistic intent, clearly and concisely outlining
the project they would like to focus on during their time at
Annaghmakerrig. 
Sorcha
de Brun replaced Brendan Nolan as the union’s representative
on the board of the Irish Writers Centre in November 2011.
A long-standing member of the IWU executive committee, Sorcha
was a member of the writer’s centre’s advisory committee
which did much of the support thinking for the main board until
it was wound down this summer. She is a fluent Irish speaker,
a published author, and a former joint disputes officer for the
union.
If you are a writer, then you are a writer; established, struggling, or forever hopeful, so join with other writers for the benefit of all.
