The Irish Writers Centre, in partnership with Dublin City Council’s UNESCO City of Literature designation, has released the latest episode of its video series Dublin: One City, Many Stories — a celebration of Dublin’s 15th year as a UNESCO City of Literature. Watch Writers' Roundtable above...
Chaired by journalist and author Aoife Barry, the episode brings together acclaimed writers Victoria Kennefick, Kevin Curran, Emmet Kirwan and Olivia Fitzsimons for a candid conversation on what it means to be a writer today, the challenges and joys of claiming that title, the importance of community, and the enduring influence of Dublin on their work.
From reflections on working-class representation to finding time to write in the chaos of daily life, the fascinating discussion shines a light on the diverse routes that lead to a writing life.
Aoife Barry said; "What struck me most during this conversation was the honesty — each writer shared not just their triumphs but their struggles, the doubt as well as the drive. This episode is about pulling back the curtain and showing that writing is not a closed world; it’s one that grows stronger when it’s shared."
The six-part series celebrates 15 years of Dublin's designation as a UNESCO City of Literature and the Irish Writers Centre's ongoing mission to support writers at all stages of their careers - find out more here.
