What People Say
Megan's journaling workshop provided our community with the opportunity to stop, reflect and express themselves on paper. Through her joy and enthusiasm, she showed the group the benefits journalling can have on our lives and helped everyone to feel more empowered by the time they left
Megan Wynne visited my 3rd yr students in our school in Clondalkin and it was a huge success! Megan's workshop was so interesting and interactive. Time flew by and after lots of anecdotes, laughter, questions and fun, the session came to an end far too soon. We would happily invite Megan to our school any time she is free but knowing how in demand this fabulous author is, we'll be booking well in advance !
The 6th classes (and staff) really enjoyed this introduction to journaling. It was such an engaging and personal account of how it lead to a lifelong love of using this skill as a tool to clear a noisy mind, or as a start to creative writing.
Her manner was warm, inclusive, clear and respectful and the children had lots of time to practise the skill, some for the first time during the workshop. Such a helpful resource to have in our repertoire of ways to manage everyday stress and switch off from devices in a meaningful way.
Highly recommend Megan and looking forward to welcoming her back another time!
Megan recently facilitated two journaling workshops in the library – one for a class group from our local school and one public session. The children loved the workshops, in fact, many of the class group came back again for the public session! Megan’s enthusiasm made the workshops engaging from the start and her gentle encouragement ensured that all the children had a very positive experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and engaging presentation today. Your talk was so inspiring from start to finish. You could see how interested the boys were from their questions and your story is one that most definitely will inspire them going forward in whatever dream they follow."
The event with Megan Wynne was fantastic. Megan really captured the imagination of the children and was very engaging.
The children really enjoyed the event. She would definitely be an author we would welcome again in Pearse Street!
I highly recommend Megan Wynne’s workshop on Journaling. It builds beautifully, is scaffolded and the timings of the exercises are perfect to keep the students fully engaged.
This is a simple, practical tool that is explained clearly with defined achievable goals. It was a very motivating workshop for both the students and myself!
Megan's vibrant energy and interactive style engaged the pupils at a very high level. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to introduce journalling to the class. Megan has a wealth of experience in journalling and writing and presents ideas in a very accessible way as a means of dealing with the highs and lows of life.
The participants wanted to continue with the journalling experience after Megan left and I've no doubt that she has ignited a spark of passion for writing for the children in the class.
A short but sincere note of thanks to you for your excellent workshop yesterday. Our 5th Year students found it to be an engaging, positive and extremely helpful hour, from which they came away feeling uplifted and supported. We really appreciate your time and openness - it has definitely made a difference.
Megan's talk was both entertaining and inspiring to the children and teachers alike. She has the ability to speak to the children in a very mature yet child friendly way. The anecdotes about her life were both funny and thought provoking which captured the children's attention. Her passion for reading and writing is infectious."
From 1st and 5th year students at St. Joseph’s School, Rush:
I really enjoyed the self expression within the workshop and honestly in that small space of time I learnt a lot about how my mind words when it comes to my thoughts. I always journaled before the workshop, but learnt new skills regardless.
I enjoyed how it was presented and how new it was. I also found it very helpful and found it easier to focus and work then after certain activities. Very beneficial.
I loved getting to know the teacher/author Megan and her life and also the chance to learn and try different types of journaling.
I enjoyed the opportunity for self reflection.
I loved learning a bit about my brain.
I enjoyed it because it was fun.
Megan, that ran the workshop was extremely friendly. I found it interesting that she brought in her old journals.

I enjoyed being able to write whatever was in my head down, I thought it was very useful and fun.
I liked how down to earth the teacher was, I felt like she was my equal.

Anna is absolutely loving your classes. She smiles from beginning to end on zoom, and its lovely to see the spark you are igniting in her for writing.Damian - Parent
I attend creative writing classes because I like to write stories where anything can happen; a dog can change into an alien, you can make anyone die, you can make anyone live. You can use your imagination.Bébhínn - age 10
I have been doing classes with Megan for a very long time, and my writing has improved so much along the way. I have moved on to win 3rd place in a national writing competition because of how much I have learned. Megan brings a great, friendly atmosphere into the classroom and I really would recommend her to any writer, beginner or advanced.Victoria - Age 13
I really enjoyed the summer camp. The sheets and notes we got were very helpful. Megan makes everything very easy to understand. I had lots of fun. It’s amazing what you can learn in a week!Hannah - Age 13
I love Megan’s Creative Writing classes! They have taught me so much about writing. They’re so much fun and I’ve made lots of friends too!Nicole - Age 12
I liked everything, especially when we each got a page, started a story on it (only one sentence) and then passed it on. I also liked when everyone told a story together (not writing it down).Faustina - Age 16
I’ve always loved writing and Megan Wynne’s classes provided a non-pressurised, friendly and inspiring environment which nurtured my love of writing. If my spelling wasn’t right, it didn’t matter, or if my story ideas were completely whacky—even better! It was all about the story, which I loved. Writing is a great outlet and something which I’m continuing today. Megan’s classes helped to lay the framework for important skills and techniques, and this helped me to win a few competitions at Cúirt and Listowel Writers Week. I would highly recommend Megan’s classes!Sarah - Age 18
It was a really useful writing camp – helpful, fun and interesting.John - Age 12
