his spoken-word poetry in Australia, Europe, England, Japan, and America. His
novel, Iceland was long listed in this years Ockham book awards and listed as one
of 2017’s best books by The Listener.
Classes are $200, for more information or to book a space contact Dominic –
Testimonials
“The class really got me out of my comfort zone and trying new things. It was great
to have a supportive environment to experiment with my writing style.”
“I wrote 5,000+ words and finished the first draft of my novel in the two days after
the workshop. So yeah, it was good!”
“Thank you very much for sharing your insight and experience. I admire your ability
to balance the unique, insightful and personal elements of your work with true
professionalism.”
“”Dominic taught me many new skills to utilise. I value his lessons because the
ideas come through in an easy-to-understand and clear manner which he sets to
the individual or group learning capacity. Would I recommend Creative Writing
Courses by Dominic Hoey? Yes!” “
