The seventh Dromineer Literary Festival will be held from the 7th. - 10th, October 2010 at the Lough Derg Yacht Club, Dromineer, Co. Tipperary.
Dromineer has been described as a 'boutique' festival; small but high class, with an atmosphere that is serious but informal, professional but friendly, in an exquisite setting on the shores of Lough Derg (the decidely non-penitentional one).
Confirmed participants for 2010 are poet Dave Lordan and novelists / memoirists Carlo Gebler and Hugo Hamilton. The ever-popular Poetry and Short Story competitions for adults, and the Primary Schools Poetry Competition for children will be held as usual. As well as reading at All Ireland Poetry Day on Thursday October 7th., renowned poet Dave Lordan will conduct a Poetry Workshop on Saturday morning. There will be a concurrent Writing Fiction Workshop with David Rice.
In addition to the established workshops, the 2010 festival will feature a water-based haiku Workshop and ginko under the direction of Maeve O'Sullivan aboard 'The Spirit of Killaloe'.
The 2010 Festival Exhibition will feature Gerardine Wisdom, renowned for her work across a range of disciplines from reed sculpture, such as the festival mascot 'The Reeder', to prize-winning photography.
