Sad to have finished an INCREDIBLE course with Christodoulos Makris run by @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social . Every one of the eight weeks was so interesting, thinking and discussing about the different ways of literature can be made and read. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in writing. 🙏
