Dominique, 28
Residing by the Dorset coast. Dominique is an aspiring author, fantasy enthusiast and conjurer of stories for the weary and the broken.
“Carrying fifteen years of life experience is less of a heavy burden to carry when you can weave beautiful stories out of it all. I want to write words that remind broken people that they are seen.”
“However deep the void or wide the expanse, there is no shore so distant as to be beyond the reach of light.”
– Urianger Augerelt in FFXIV
Values you’ll find in my writing…
Inclusivity
I want everyone to find a piece of themselves in my characters. Everyone should get to feel represented in the stories they read.
Feeling
The words written on the pages should invoke something. Where its wonder, confusion, shock, lust, understanding or hatred. Words that make you feel stay with you.
Distinct
Standing out from the crowd in the saturated fantasy market is tough. But I want to write stories that will be like nothing you’ve ever read before.
how I got Here
Begin again…
Like most authors and writers, this all began with a dream to publish a book one day. For most of my life it was just a pipe dream I pushed to the back of my mind, impossible to reach. I worked in the publishing industry for a while after studying for my MA in Publishing Media and never thought about putting myself on the flip side of things.
Until one day, I hit a point in my life where I truly broke. I had to start my entire life again from scratch with nothing and the only way I could see any way out of the pain was to write it down.
At the time I was going through too much to write clearly with a level head. But a year on I feel like i’m in a place to turn that angst at the world into delectably dark stories.
I am currently working on my debut novel and I cant wait to share it with the world.
