Big Sur Fiction Writing Workshop

Fiction Writing Workshop

"The best part was the intensity!
The editors/agents are so down to earth & accessible! I like that serious writers were here to discuss work. It raised the standards for people.”

"This is the first conference I have walked away thinking this was worth every penny. I actually feel like I have something of value, and I am a better writer for going."

"It is difficult not to admire a writer (Henry Miller) who has so resolutely gone about his own business in his own way without the slightest concession to any fashion."
- Gore Vidal

“People read to be amused, to pass the time, or to be instructed. Now I never read to pass the time, I never read to be instructed; I read to be taken out of myself, to become ecstatic. I'm always looking for the author who can lift me out of myself.” – Henry Miller

...to be born a writer one must learn to like privation, suffering, humiliation. Above all, one must learn to live apart. Like the sloth, the writer clings to his limb while beneath him life surges by steady, persistent, tumultuous. When ready plop! he falls into the stream and battles for life. Is is not something like that?
