Fighting Words Northern Ireland

Fighting Words NI is a creative writing centre for children and young people.

Since 2015 we’ve been a force for creativity in Belfast and beyond, providing thousands of creative writing opportunities for schools and young writers ages 6-18: that’s hundreds of Storymaking Workshops for classes of all ages, scores of Write Club meetings, and dozens of special projects – all supported by our amazing volunteer mentors. Our patrons are the acclaimed writers Glenn Patterson, Roddy Doyle, Nick Hornby, Lucy Caldwell, Paul Muldoon and Dave Eggers.
