Maeve Clancy will talk about her work in the community, such as her current job documenting a craft/youth/mental health project through comics.
There is a suggested donation of €3-5 from everyone attending the meeting to cover the organisers’ costs.
The programme for the meeting is:

If the first meeting is successful it’s envisioned that it will become a quarterly event in Dublin.

This sounds great! I went on a bit of a rant on my blog and decided that screw it I’m writing comics and everyone can go to hell. And now I find this! Serendipity?

Best of luck with your ambition to write comics! I hope you can make the meeting. 🙂
We’d love to see you there! Hope you can attend!
I’m scared!
I promise that we are among the least scary people you could ever hope to meet. 🙂
