Helpful, expert and compassionate
“Rona Maynard is simply wonderful: a wonderful writer, facilitator and editor. I had gotten stuck on my memoir project and brought part of it to Rona’s writing workshop. There, she carefully went over everyone’s work in such a helpful, expert and compassionate manner. She gave me a new sense of purpose, confidence and commitment to my writing, and a much clearer idea of the direction I need to take with my writing.”
—Anne Bokma, journalist
Creative mastery
“Rona’s writing workshop propelled me into another level of creativity. She is an astute facilitator with an ocean of inspirational words and ideas – all magically tailored to fit each individual participant. Rona offers up her gifts of perception and creativity with tremendous generosity of spirit. If you have a chance to work with her, take it. You’ll rarely discover another person with her level of creative mastery and a willingness to share it.”
—Gail Hill, artist
See writing in a new light
“Rona’s pointed prodding as she critiqued each piece of writing helped me to see my own writing in a new light. To this day, I refer to my notes from the workshop when refining new pieces of writing and apply Rona’s lessons. I will be forever grateful to Rona for helping me write clearly, honestly and compellingly.”
—Diane Williams, marketing executive
Invaluable
“I returned to do a second workshop with Rona after finding the first one invaluable. Rona guides her students in a journey down ‘story river’ while thoughtfully and gently providing feedback, suggestions and writing strategies. The inclusion of her stories and a spectrum of others’ makes this thought-provoking day flow beautifully, with warmth running through every moment.”
—Judy Farrant, customer service consultant
Revealing and energizing
“Rona is one-of-a-kind. Expert in memoir-writing. Deft in imparting knowledge to newbies and wannabes. Attentive to the many details underlying her comfortable and full one-day workshop. Committed to her participants’ success and her own craft by the care and creativity she brought to the deconstruction then reconstruction of each participant’s story. My first experience with Rona was extremely revealing and energizing. I intend to apply the results to my work with leaders and change agents.”
—Dianne LeBreton, facilitator and consultant
