## Testimonials

- [Suzanne Blackwell (Calgary, Alberta)](https://robyndiner.com/testimonial/suzanne-blackwell-calgary-alberta/) - Robyn is remarkable. I booked her autofiction workshop on a whim as the literary world is quite foreign to me. I appreciate how she immediately shares her truth in a way that makes the thought of contemplating or even attempting to write autofiction adventurous and invigorating. I was not expecting that the brief exercises she
- [C.K. Love (Toronto, Ontario)](https://robyndiner.com/testimonial/c-k-love-toronto-ontario/) - Robyn Diner knows how to open the door for you while you fumble for your keys because you have too much stuff in your hands. She knows how to help you see the potential in and of your work. Even if you just wrote it in class. Her feedback for your musings or ramblings during
- [The Cougars of TikTok](https://robyndiner.com/testimonial/dr-robert-runte-2/) - Robyn Diner’s piece, “The Cougars of TikTok”, is more essay than story, but confirms her place as one of my favourite Canadian authors with this insightful yet gentle piece on older women, social media, and sex. If I were still teaching sociology, that would totally be the opening entry in my course reader
- [Cuddle Me Outside](https://robyndiner.com/testimonial/dr-robert-runte/) - My personal favourite in this collection, though, was Robyn Diner’s ‘Cuddle Me Outside’. Wow. Worth the price of the collection for this one alone. Speculative in the sense that her cuddle-party concept could never work in the real world, the story is a joy to read. Her POV character is so hilariously self-deprecating, the story
- [Jen Kelly](https://robyndiner.com/testimonial/jen-kelly/) - Dr. Robyn Diner is one smart, inspiring, 'bad-ass' teacher and mentor. She is passionate and compassionate, a deep critical thinker and a committed changer-of-the world. Robyn knows exactly how to keep my inner critics at bay and how to nourish my writing process. Her advice, suggestions, and comments are always helpful, encouraging, and honest. She
- [Irene Ens](https://robyndiner.com/testimonial/irene-ens/) - I had the pleasure of finding Robyn teaching a class I desperately wanted to experience called "More than a Milf.” It became obvious from the first class that this was going to be something special. There were 9 students, all tentative about the topic. And then there was Robyn - fearless, open, so damn smart,
- [Zandara Hassan](https://robyndiner.com/testimonial/zandara-hassan/) - Robyn supported our group with such wisdom and generosity. She created a safe and encouraging container, grounded in theory yet alive with warmth, where every experience of the aging woman’s body was welcomed and normalized. Her carefully crafted prompts and gentle encouragement drew out astounding work from all of us. Under her guidance, what might
