Testimonials
Gaynor is one of the most supportive writers in the writing community
A natural workshop host
Practical advice and heartfelt encouragement
It was a warm, nurturing environment and I felt I could share my writing and get good honest feedback
I got loads of usable material from the workshop and some great advice
A really professional, supportive instructor
A perfect theme that really delivered. The writing prompts were inspiring and we packed so much into 2 hours.
Gaynor shared tips for creating unique work that were new to me, plus original and effective ideas to make a story stand out
Gaynor’s Go Weird or Go Home workshop was brilliant – a great theme and excellent content. Her presentation was warm, witty and encouraging
Absolutely brimming with weird ideas now
An all round worthwhile experience for writers at any level
Hugely inspiring, funny and supportive
Thank you for helping me see what I couldn’t see
I wrote a short story during the workshop that was in direct response to Gaynor’s prompts. It was accepted by a magazine I love the first time I submitted it
