Once a year writers and readers congregate in the warm weather for the literary seminar, a 4-day event with “presentations by some of the best writers of our time.” The 2025 theme is “Family” which as we all know can be a loaded word. There’s the family we are born into, the one we choose for ourselves and quite possibly the one we run far away from. The writers will help us untangle the often complicated ties that bind, and how they shape our world.   (Jan 9-12)    Registration is now open
