My Wren enjoys attention. But whenever I'm petting her she won't stay still, which can be annoying.
Does anybody have cats like this?

LOL. Its funny you say this. My Jet is like that. She's a cuddle bug tho. She's always wanting to be carried and pet and loved on. but whens he starts to wriggle away, i pull out the brush to milk an extra few minutes haha
Does she enjoy brushing? One of my cats loves attention, she will come up and head-butt me but is the same way as yours--she won't sit still for petting. But she LOVES being brushed! She still wriggles around but with the brush I can get her to hang out a lot longer than just petting.
The way you described it, "wiggle and turn", is very much like Wren. She'll go in circles as I rub her back, she'll flop on her side as I start to rub her chin. The only time she'll stay still is while rubbing her belly, which would be no longer than 30 seconds.
My 2 both have their moments where they wiggle and turn and what not while I pet them. Mostly Mooch. When Noodles is like that; I know she wants food! Mooch has just always been this way. But she does usually settle down after a few minutes. She has hurt me a few times and it can be uncomfortable when she is trying to keep her balance on me.
I decided to try brushing Wren to see if she's no longer afraid. When I went over to her she started sniffing the bristles and then rubbed her face against them. I started brushing her back as I rubbed her chin and she stayed still much more!

Just a few minutes ago I was in the living room where there's a chair Wren will make herself comfy on. This time I saw her cozy and asleep and she never came over to me to start meowing for attention!
Now I know what to do.
