About Gwynne Hunt
Based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, I am an investigative storyteller, published author, instructor, and spoken word artist dedicated to listening deeply and helping others give voice to their personal journeys.
A life rooted in listening and advocacy
We all have a story to tell. My path as an investigative storyteller began with a commitment to community, organizing advocacy events, healing workshops, and festivals, as well as raising funds for women’s centres. Along the way, I learned from every person I met, gathering lived experiences, uncovering deeper truths, and championing creative expression in all its forms.
Guiding others to share their memoirs
That lifelong passion for storytelling and listening makes memoir mentorship a natural extension of my craft. Through structured workshops, writing prompts, and personal projects, I guide aspiring writers to dig into their memories, structure their narrative arcs, and bring their unique perspectives to the page with authenticity and care.
Words on the page and the stage
With five published books and a vibrant stage presence, I bridge the worlds of careful investigative research and dynamic spoken word. Whether performing live poetry, presenting readings, or publishing new writing, my goal is always to evoke genuine connection and remind us of the power carried in our shared stories.
"Gwynne has a remarkable gift for listening to the nuances of lived experience and helping writers uncover the heart of their own stories."
