Writing for Life Workshops is the realization of a long-held dream of copyeditor and writing coach C. S. Lakin. The desire to hold quality writing workshops featuring best-selling authors and highly acclaimed writing instructors in the San Francisco region led to the launch of this new company.
What makes Writing for Life Workshops so special and unique is we provide an ideal intimate venue in a desirable, easy-to-access location to create a learning environment that is welcoming and special. Each workshop will allow the featured presenter to go deep into his program to share his expertise in his craft over two or three full days, rather than just offer a brief talk in a lineup of numerous presenters. The Courtyard Marriott in Silicon Valley provides a comfortable venue and excellent food, as well as affordable rates for attendees wanting to stay at the hotel throughout the event.
It is our desire to provide the most appealing and enjoyable experience for writers so they can take full advantage of the wisdom and experience of the best writing instructors of our time. We’re excited by our lineup for 2013, with James Scott Bell, Davis Bunn, and Michael Hauge–who combined have taught workshops to tens of thousands of writers worldwide. Don’t miss out on this terrific opportunity to learn technique that will help make you the best writer you can be. Whether you’re a beginner or aspiring writer or one who is already “writing for life,” we invite you to join us this upcoming year in Newark, CA.
