The Writer's Retreat of San Buenas

"Writing fiction in America...is no job for intellectual cowards. There are lots of would-be censors out there...they all want basically the same thing: for you to see the world they see....or to at least shut up about what you do see that's different. They are agents of the status quo...dangerous guys if you happen to believe in intellectual freedom."

We are cancelling our summer retreat. We are not cancelling our retreat altogether but rather making The Writers' Retreat of San Buenas an annual event. Prepare for our next one in winter of 2018. Exact dates to be announced. Everybody, thank you for your interest.

It’s Not Bad News. Simply, it’s news. In the long run I think it will be great thing. Emphatically, we are making the right decision.
