What People Are Saying
“For me as a rapper/song writer I got exactly what I was wanting from the class which was new creative writing ideas and exercises plus a look into Dominic’s approach and insight on writing.”
— Lucky Lance, Team Dynamite
“Te Reo Māori is my first language, so at school I never understood the English stuff. But after spending the weekend writing with Dom I learnt the fundamentals and structures of writing in a way I could understand but he also said if it makes sense to me then that’s also writing too, which was mean.”
— Maarire Brunning Kouka
"Dominic creates a supportive environment for writers at any age or stage to practice. He communicates important writing principles clearly and simply, and then hands over the reins for you to explore and play. Highly recommend for those wanting to set up a regular rhythm, with plenty of exercises to frog-hop you along your writing journey."
— Alice Canton

“In six hours this two-day course felt like it crammed in whole semesters of uni-level creative writing studies. I left feeling overwhelmed with tools & inspired to use every single one of them.
— Tayla O'Driscoll
"I was feeling uninspired and whakamā about my writing. Dominic helped shake the dust off with solid advice and fun exercises to get the juices flowing. I was reminded that rooms have feelings and pairs of scissors have hopes and dreams, too. You just have to watch and listen. "
— Renae
"I highly recommend Dominic's course. I haven't written anything in about a decade so was nervous about the mixed level class but it was actually great, and I felt really welcome to share if I wanted to and no pressure to if I didn't. I really appreciate how passionate Dominic is about writing and sharing knowledge without elitist writing snobbery."
— Katie Lorraine
