Derry Playhouse Writers assists writers with improving their craft by providing a structure that will aid their completion of works-in-progress. Participants are individuals who have a variety of visions and voices. We are writers of poetry, novels, plays, short stories, biography, autobiography, scripts (for both film and television), and essays. We span borders, ideologies, spiritual beliefs, gender and generations. The ultimate goal of the group is to assist writers in their endeavor to have their work published and/or performed. To this end we meet weekly to discuss work-in progress and critique these. We facilitate master classes and workshops to aid our development as writers. We also convene work sessions with authors, agents, producers and publishers to enhance our marketing and promotional skills.

We meet every Wednesday afternoon at The Playhouse, 5-7 Artillery Street, from 1.00pm to 4.00pm (except if Wednesday is a holiday). We heartily welcome new people, both beginning writers and old-hands.
