Our Mission

Our 2010 event was called Celebrating the Memoir, and among the writers who came to Woodstock to celebrate with us were Susan Orlean, Shalom Auslander, Dani Shapiro, Marion Winik, Julie Powell, Ruth Reichl and more.

At our 2011 event, Meet Your Muse, we hosted such notables as Colm Toibin, Jon Katz, Tim Seibles, Gail Godwin, Betty Ballantine, Elizabeth Lesser, Holly George-Warren and Michael Lang.

This year we are going to Occupy Woodstock with writers such as Kris Carr, Sonia Sanchez, Ann Hood, Mark Whitaker and others. Hope you can join us.
