Welcome to WWINC
Welcome to WWINC , the blog of the Women Writers in Migrant and New Communities Network. We are an Irish-based network of writers interested in forming associations between women writers who have recently come to live in Ireland and those who were born here or have lived here for a long time.
We’d like to issue the following invitation:
WINCC is a new initiative whose principal aim is to facilitate the creative work of women writers in migrant and new communities in Ireland.
Our aims:
- to provide and circulate information for and between women writers from migrant and new communities;
- to organise seminars, readings and other events devoted to the practice and experience of women writers from migrant and new communities;
- to provide a forum and opportunity for dialogue between members of this network and other women writers in Ireland.
Who can join:
- This network will primarily be of interest to women writers from migrant and new communities but welcomes affiliation from other women writers and organisations in Irleand.
If you are interested in participating in this initiative or would like further information about WWINC, please contact Nessa O’Mahony (poet) and Pamela Akinjobi (journalist and writer) at wwfinc@gmail.com
Congratulations on another fine Irish blog - I think this is a fantastic idea ..
Even though I’m a man, I’m going to keep an eye on what’s going on over here because I’m interested in what woman write, especially women whose work I wouldn’t easily come across.
I’m very impressed with the appearance of this new blog. I wish I had the ability to design such a fine specimen. Congrats and good luck.
Hello women writers, the tides of excitement are building up ready to explode at our first meeting. Sure we’re all visualising what format it would take. Let’s share your ideas of this vision so we can accommodate it in our plans. Enjoy the lovely Irish weather. Pamela Akinjobi
This network is a great idea, creating the opportunity for more women to be heard. Interestingly, it is bound to open up the world to a good number of women usually percieved as shy. One may be pleasantly surprised at the inner thoughts of many. Excellent idea, this!!!
