Who is Chris Mooney Singh?

My name is Chris Mooney-Singh. I am Australian-born but have lived in Asia on and off since 1989. For the past twenty years I have been a full-time arts facilitator leading a team of mentors in over 100 schools in Singapore. More recently, I have been a creative writing lecturer in Singapore's only post-graduate creative writing programme. Three of my past mentees were awarded the National Young Artist of the Year Award and some of my students have won international writing prizes. I hold a doctorate in Creative Writing from Monash University (Australia). In 2015 my verse novel was commended in the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards (unpublished fiction category).

More About Me

A writer of poetry, fiction, plays, director of spoken word events and ensembles, I have also written librettos for opera produced in Australia. In addition, I have  been a guest at literary festivals in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, South Korea and the Philippines.

I studied with Chris during my MA in creative writing at Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore. He was a patient and caring teacher who would tactfully deliver insightful feedback. Thanks to his editing advice and encouragement, I managed to significantly improve and get my first poems into print.

Not only is Chris a master of all things related to writing but skilled at honing individual styles. I appreciate how he also gave me the space to grow through various performance opportunities such as poetry slams and arts festivals. This has helped me become more confident in my writing and a better performer.

Dr Chris has been very encouraging and helpful, guiding me with my poetry. I have really enjoyed his classes because he took the time to listen and assist me to express my gifts and stay focused. He has also been a great inspiration to write my first book of poems.
