Taryn has led numerous workshops on writing throughout the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. She has led writing workshops with Surrey Schools, Kent-Harrison Arts Council, City of Maple Ridge’s Artist in Residence program, Chilliwack Arts Council, and others.

Approachable writing exercises
In her workshops, she uses her strong facilitation skills to create an interactive, engaging, and inclusive environment where writers actively explore concepts through discussion and hands-on activities. By guiding conversations and fostering a collaborative atmosphere, she supports writers as they connect ideas to their own work in meaningful and transformational ways.
On writing panels, Taryn is experienced both as a facilitator of the discussion and as a panelist.
