Writing Workshops
Gabi enjoys working alongside people to empower them through creative writing, whether they write regularly or have lost confidence in their abilities. Gabi’s workshops focus on practice rather than outcome, facilitating safe spaces for participants to let go of perfectionism and find joy in unleashing their creativity. Gabi has led workshops on Creative Writing as a Spiritual Practice with Christian Students Uniting and guest facilitated the Mycelium Grove Writing Group for trans and gender diverse young people, as well as running an Advent Reflective Writing Workshop in December 2023.
Editing Services
Gabi is passionate about collaborating with others to craft poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction, as both a facilitator and an editor. Their editing experience spans community zines, literary journals such as ARNA, the creative journal of the Sydney Arts Students Society for which they worked as a poetry sub-editor in 2020, and Red Room Poetry’s Poem Forest in 2022. Gabi loves giving writers encouraging and constructive feedback, and watching a piece blossom into the best version of itself.
