The Writers’ Guild of Ireland is delighted to announce our next event, supported by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland through the Screen Stakeholders Funding Scheme

On Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th March, from 10am to 5pm we will host a special two day hybrid business skills development for writers seminar in Dublin City Centre. This will be the start of our new business skills development initiative which will equip writers with essential legal, financial, and marketing knowledge, empowering them to protect their rights, secure fair deals, and take on larger industry roles. Over the two days you will receive expert tuition in marketing, writers’ rights, contracts 101, managing people, negotiation and finance basics. Following on from this we will have webinars designed to further enhance and develop your business skills. 

We will have limited space at the seminar so this will be hybrid with a live online feed for those who can’t make the in-person event.

The WGI would like to encourage members who belong to any group which may be underrepresented within society (for example on the grounds of gender, ethnicity, disability, religion, socio-economic or any other factors), to participate in this event.

Register your place here (there is the option to choose in person or online)

Registrations will be approved on a first come first served basis with a priority for full members.

Stipend is available for those with caring responsibilities or additional needs.
