Castledermot Creative Writers

Castledermot Creative Writers Creative writing classes for kids and teens in Castledermot. Classes will take place in the Community Centre in Castledermot on selected Saturdays.

My name is Edel Horan, I am quailified Secondary School English teacher. I spotted a lack of creative opportunities for kids and teens around the Castledermot area. I am a keen writer and love to teach. Looking forward to meeting and working with the creative writers of Castledermot!
