Trevor Martens is a writer, educator, speaker, and creative community-builder based in Manitoba. After 16 years as a high school English teacher, he left the classroom to pursue writing full-time and founded I Help You Write Things, a supportive community helping aspiring authors move from idea to finished draft with confidence and clarity.
Through workshops, writing groups, and mindset-first coaching, Trevor has helped hundreds of writers overcome perfectionism, procrastination, and self-doubt to finally trust their own voice. He teaches in-person and online workshops, and brings over four years of professional editing experience to every story he helps shape.
As a speaker, Trevor blends mindset coaching with creative insight to deliver practical, empowering sessions that leave audiences feeling seen and ready to take action. Whether at a writing workshop, creative retreat, or personal development event, he meets writers exactly where they are and helps them move forward with confidence and heart.
Trevor is currently at work on Northmain (working name), a speculative fiction novel in progress.
When he's not writing, speaking, or leading workshops, he can be found exploring the outdoors, cheering on local live comedy, or spending time with his wife and two kids. He also wins at ping pong with alarming consistency!
Every writer goes through seasons where the words come easily, and seasons where they need a little help finding their way back to the page. Sometimes we don't need another book on writing or another course. We simply need a reason to show up, a place to write, and a group of people doing the same.
That's why I created Writers Camp.
Whether you're hoping to begin a manuscript, write the next scene in your story, revisit a draft that's been waiting patiently for you, or simply discover what you want to write, Writer's Camp is designed to help you move forward.
For four evenings, you'll set aside time that belongs to your writing.
Each session includes guided writing prompts, practical storytelling technique, discussion, time to write, and supportive feedback that helps you recognize what's already working in your writing while developing your eye for craft. One of my favourite parts of Writers Camp is seeing technique come alive—not only in your own work, but in the writing of the people around you.
No experience is necessary. You don't need to have a manuscript. You don't need to know exactly what you're writing.
You simply need a desire to write.
