About Fighting Words
Fighting Words is a truly original creative writing centre established by Roddy Doyle and Seán Love. For thousands of children and young people, and especially those on the margins of society, it is the most unique and effective resource in Ireland today for encouraging and mentoring creative writers.

This is because at its core, Fighting Words is also about something much broader and more inclusive. It is about using the creative practice of writing and storytelling to strengthen our children and teenagers – people from a wide range of backgrounds – to be resilient, creative, and successful shapers of their own lives.
