History of the DWW<\/h2>\n

The Drumshanbo Written Word Festival<\/strong> is an annual event that celebrates literature and writing in the small town of Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, Ireland. Started in 2009, the festival features a variety of events, including author readings, panel discussions, workshops, and book launches. Attendees can also enjoy live music and other cultural performances.<\/p>\n

Our hopes<\/h2>\n

The festival aims to bring together both established and emerging writers, as well as readers and literary enthusiasts, to share their passion for the written word. It is a great opportunity to explore the rich literary heritage of Ireland and to discover new voices in contemporary literature.<\/p>\n
