Welcome to
THE MULLIGAN METHOD
an innovative creative writing
school welcoming writers at all
stages of their journey.
Thanks for stopping by! I’m Claire Mulligan, an award-winning writer of short stories, novels, and screenplays; a nuts-and-bolts editor; and a creative writing instructor on a mission to help you fall in love with the craft of writing, expand your knowledge of literature, and find your writing community.
Thanks so much for an excellent class. I learned a lot, thought a lot about writing (what you said about “writing is easy, story is hard” will stay with me) and was exposed to new authors. Every week was something new and engaging, and challenging. I’m sorry it’s at an end!

I would highly recommend a class with Claire Mulligan. Each Zoom class was packed full of information about story and how it evolved throughout history . . . It was a lot of fun; and I learned far more than I thought I would. I’ll definitely take another one of Claire’s classes.

The presentation was structured, enticing, and thought provoking. Claire was supportive and very knowledgeable. Her teaching style enabled us to take chances and hone our writing skills as we progressed through the genres in flash fiction. I previously took a historical fiction course with Claire (pre-pandemic). A stimulating, productive and fun experience!

Upcoming Live Courses - 2024
An engaging, challenging and above all fun journey through the different genres of fiction. By using writing projects of 100– 300 words, Claire Mulligan teaches writers the power of words.
Kat Nicholls
Claire’s classes are dynamic, well-researched and a ton of fun. I always come away with practical tools and great ideas.
Tanya C.
Claire stretched my writing beyond anything I thought possible.
Vicki Metcalfe
Class time is divided into lectures, in-class prompts, and collaborative story creation.
We discuss our homework (never more than 250 words) the challenges and inspirations, but use GOOGLE CLASSROOM for writer-led feedback.
On our classroom you will also find materials, links, and updates.
Classes are online with ZOOM. I will tape the classes and post the slides for those who can’t make certain classes.
POSITIVE AND ENCOURAGING
Always positive and encouraging, Claire uses “sticky learning” and an “integrated learning approach,” that delves into history and craft of fiction, the essence of story-telling, and the best way to learn to write.
