Call for XBorders: Transition Project 2019

The Irish Writers Centre and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland are once again running the XBorders project. As with previous year’s projects, ways of seeing and thinking about borders, physical or inter-personal, their potential for art, and in particular, writing, will be explored. This year, the theme looks beyond borders and conflict to states of change and transition.
The process unfolds by way of seminars with artists, academics and professionals in the field, immediately followed by intensive workshops facilitated by Maria McManus.  Maria will also act as mentor to the group, and will provide one on one mentorship to the participants.
On completion of this research period the writers will attend a workshop on the editing process led by Patsy Horton with a view to preparing their work for online or print publication.  We will also aim to connect the writers with literary journals and magazines as sources of publication if possible, once the process is at an end.
