Big Sur Writing Workshops

For the past fourteen years, writers have come to the Big Sur Writing Workshops for an intensive weekend of working on manuscripts with publishing professionals who are dedicated to helping new writers. The workshops are designed for writers (Picture Books - Young Adult) who have a finished or partially finished manuscript that needs critiquing, revisions, editorial help and guidance.

Big Sur Children’s and Young Adults Writing Workshop

There are still a few spots left at the Big Sur Children’s and Young Adults Writing Workshop to be held on Dec. 2-3, 2011.

The workshop is sponsored by the Henry Miller Memorial Library, a non-profit 501 (c) (3) bookstore and art space who has hosted Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, theater, poetry, art, and so much more; and the Andrea Brown Literary Agency.

Each year we host dozens of aspiring writers and illustrators across two illuminating days here in the redwoods. The workshops are small - ratio of faculty to writers is five to one or better - and the faculty consists of authors, publishers, editors, and literary agents. To make things slightly more bearable, I’ve included some helpful links:

• The workshop home page. It has all the information you’ll need, including the editors, agents, and authors who'll be attending, submission guidelines, and logistics.

• Our Facebook page, which includes works of workshop alumni and faculty members, as well as news and other information.
  

• Success stories and thank-you notes from alumni, some of whom found a publisher at previous workshops, all of whom found the workshop to be inspirational and unforgettable.
