The International Dublin Writers' Festival 2026
About the event
This year’s festival explores one of the biggest questions facing writers today: how will AI change storytelling, publishing, creativity, and the role of the author? What is the future of story?
Through practical workshops, inspiring talks, and expert-led discussions, attendees will explore both the opportunities and challenges facing writers in a rapidly changing world.
