The Gunna’s Class was fantastic!! I came away from this amazing day feeling excited, inspired and so very glad I took the time out to do this. Catherine is such a powerhouse of ideas, enthusiasm and talent. We were looked after so well – I knew this was going to be a great day when one of our first requirements was to write down the type of coffee we wanted!! Our coffees were delivered to us as we wrote, thought and talked, morning and afternoon. This was a really lovely touch. The staff at La Luna were delightful. Catering to a tedious gluten free person such as myself was no problem to them – this was greatly appreciated by me. The food was sensational!!! I loved being part of such of vibrant group of fellow writers (can I refer to myself as a writer?? Yes I think I can!) who were more than happy to share their ideas and inspirations. I loved this. If you are wondering if you should do a Gunna’s class I highly recommend it. You don’t need to be a writer, you just need to want to write better. I had some idea what I what wanted to write about when I attended the class however the day brought out other ideas that I happily ran with. So don’t feel you need to know what is it is you want to write before you do this class. Just come along with openness and a desire to write. That is all you need. Catherine will help you with the tools to just get in there and do it! Thank you Catherine for such an amazing day. The drive from Gippsland was absolutely worth it.

Sorry, Catherine, no time to write a testimonial. I’m far too busy doing the writing you gave me the huge big kick up the arse to do! You should see the bruise! I would say thanks but it still hurts. The bruise AND the writing. 😉

The Gunnas Masterclass was a great day with the most generous and engaging teacher I have ever had. Catherine is my role model for showing up, doing the work and singing from my heart. I really believe my Gunnas experience will help me smash down barriers to my writing, my biggest one being self-censorship and worrying about what people will think.

As a professional writer, the things I found most inspiring about Gunnas were your abundant approach to creativity, i.e. “There’s plenty more where that came from”; your generosity with your ideas, ‘secrets’, tips, struggles, etc; and your kind-but-firm no-BS kick-up-the-bum-ness. You and your Masterclass are, quite simply, grouse.

I’m so totally wrapped with myself for signing up for this class. I expected it to be highly motivating and inspiring and knew that Catherine can work a room like nobodies business so I was thrilled to get there and get into it. What I didn’t expect and what will stay with me always is how emotional the experience was; sharing our personal experiences, fears and doubts about writing and supporting and encouraging each other. Thanks Catherine for creating a safe and joyful space for us. My first writing project is now taking shape and I know these memories will help to keep me going…

My life so far is split into two phases. The one before “The Gunnas Writing Masterclass” and the one after. The masterclass was inspirational and just the kick up the bum I needed to DO and publish writing stuff rather than be endlessly thinking about doing writing stuff. Thank-you Catherine.

Having someone like Catherine be your writing mentor is such a privilege and a gift. She’s honest and gives (often hilarious) examples from her own career and personal life. This is what makes her such an engaging and inspirational teacher. Don’t miss this opportunity to have fun, improve your writing, become a lot more motivated and learn a little more about yourself in the process.

The Gunnas Writing Masterclass was great. Down to earth tips on how to get started and keep going and plenty of Dev’s trademark, from the hip, stories. The venue was very good and the food was excellent.
A very good way to meet a bunch of writers, would be or otherwise, and get a shot of inspiration.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

After attending the master class I was on a high for a week, still feel amazing in fact. Dev is a dynamo, she had a class of 14 intelligent adults wanting more. Entertaining informative and encouraging all of that and more.If you have an inclination to write anything go to the masterclass, Catherine will guide you , she is very perceptive to the individuals needs. Dev is a drug and i want more.

Catherine Deveny’s Gunnas Masterclass got me writing and was thoroughly entertaining at the same time. I would recommend it for anybody who wants to write anything at all. Worth every cent.
