Led by acclaimed writers Wayne O’Connor, whose mythical artistry has graced games and books, and award-winning wordsmith Jessamine O’Connor, renowned for her captivating literary works, this young writers club, organised by Leitrim County Council’s Arts Office and Library Services, offer a vibrant platform to express yourself.
