The Power of the Prompt. Growing a Writing Community - How a little scribble goes a long way. The Power of the Prompt is the story of an Irish writing workshop. The events are set in the kitchen of a small cottage in a fishing village on the northside of Dublin. With views overlooking Howth Harbour, we see the seasons change as the writers develop their writing craft, friendship and unlimited possibilities. Facilitator Lara O’Brien narrates the story of how weekly workshops with groups of people interested in writing evolved from prompt exercises to literary performances in front of community gatherings called Hooks and Reels. The four parts of this book are supplemented by the writers’ stories, from micro memoir pieces to polished stories delivered to packed audiences demanding more. The story, and the stories told, will have you cheering for the emerging and nervous writers and wanting to explore the writer within.  

The debut non-fiction The Power of the Prompt - Growing a writing community, is being released at 7pm April 30th, this Thursday
