“I liked that it was an informal, flowy setting. The venue is perfect. It was inspirational as much as the writers’ guidance. Wonderful!
Food choices were great. I loved the meetings and all the workshops as each writer’s perspective, approach, and style was so different. The readings were also inspirational. Please keep this venue.”

“The workshops served to break me out of my writer’s block and I’ve been writing ever since.”

“The conference was well-organized with knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive presenters.
Relevant presentations. I really like that there was just one workshop going on at a time and I
think that may have contributed to group cohesiveness.

“I really loved the people, the energy around sharing readings. People were generous as both
readers and listeners. The food was also very good—which seems like a small point but it really
made a difference. I appreciate that there was a good balance between ‘talking’ and activities. It
really was a uniquely good vibe, especially for a first conference.
I absolutely loved it, personally and professionally.”

“Quality and sincerity of the faculty. Add wisdom and fraternity to that. I couldn’t find a thing to
change. The length and pacing were good. The subject matter was good.
The faculty was excellent!”
- Don M.

“There was an immediate sense of a safe, nurturing, inspiring space for encouraging and
uplifting fellow writers.
It was simply an incredible collection of sweet, beautiful, kindred spirits.”
