Want to brush up your novel with Jane Smiley?

Got a spare $2850?
Then THIS is the place for you.

And they call self-publishing vanity publishing!

    Well, that all just sounds lovely. I hope everybody makes a lot of money and somebody learns something.

    B"ecause this workshop accepts far fewer writers than most conferences, those writers who are accepted are given more time to establish relationships with professionals who are present; and unlike several major celeb conferences, Santa Barbara AMW doesn't simply import name authors or agents to give inspirational messages and smile over cocktails."

    Oh no no no. We smile over wine, sweetbreads, and mousse, as well.

    Desiree and Karin, if you'd like me to teach you all I know about writing AND have a nice meal, I'll only charge you $1,000 each. An extra $25 if you want to stay over.

    I am in no way disparaging the talented cast: simply displaying sticker shock. Will add Moo to tbr list.
