It's a privilege to teach and learn with so many incredible folks around the world.

What I appreciated most about Trevor’s writing workshop was his easy facilitation style. It was gentle, welcoming, informative, and made delving into a personal writing project easy. Strong Recommendation.

The weekend was like a warm hug for writers. I felt safe and inspired to dig into my soul to write from my heart. Trevor was so supportive, sensitive, kind with such a great subtle humour and I am amazed at how he handled all the details seamlessly. I am a very new writer and Trevor made me feel like I belonged wholly.

Being a participant in two of Trevor's writing workshops this summer provided me with safe and comfortable settings where I could explore whether my desire to write could become a reality. I feel encouraged to continue my writing practice.

Trevor Corkum is a consummate professional with the innate ability to understand and interpret the sentiments, thoughts and ideas of established and aspiring writers. He is knowledgeable, empathetic, and willingly shares his expertise with clients, making the writing transition comfortable, exciting and achievable. I highly recommend Trevor!

I contacted Trevor because i had several disjointed and ragged pieces of writing that I didn't know how to turn into a novel. His detailed editorial analysis, suggestions and overall encouragement in his notes and in our discussions were just what i needed to start to bring the pieces together. He helped me find the holes in the plot's logic and see where there were weaknesses and inconsistency in my characters. I may just have a real novel someday!"

I recently attended a writing retreat in PEI with Trevor and it was everything I hoped for. I learned a lot, met some great people, enjoyed amazing food. I found Trevor to be very attentive, helpful and encouraging with each one of us. The workshops were informative, interesting and well managed. I look very forward to my next retreat!

Trevor acted as a developmental editor on one of my stories. What struck me most was not just the thoroughness of his critique, his copious notes, but the penetrating insight, the encouragement to go deeper into a piece that I thought, quite mistakenly, I understood.

I thoroughly enjoyed the writing portion of our retreat. Trevor’s teaching style is relaxed and encouraging; I was able to trust in the process and make discoveries about myself.

Trevor's writing workshops during a retreat on Prince Edward Island were probing, grounded, and, most importantly, awakening...exactly what I needed to get my creative juices flowing.

I remember so well, your quiet, curious and thoughtful approach...You have a gentle and helpful way of drawing people out and making them feel comfortable enough to search inward. Thank you, Trevor, for offering this unique experience.
