Lit Fest - Lighthouse Writers Workshop 2026

Writers of all genres are invited to take part in an experiment designed to help you listen. In the midst of creating a work, it’s necessary to invest time in dreaming what it could be. Throughout our process, we may make statements, diagram plot, lay down tidy plans for where a work will go, what it will mean, and what it will sound like. But your best-laid plans might be concealing a more exciting path you haven’t imagined yet.. Perhaps you have begun to perceive it, but you have not wholly become conscious of it. In the days leading up to this seminar, you will have an assignment: listen to your work in progress. During the seminar, we’ll abstain from editing and instead listen to what our novel, memoir, essay, or poem has to teach us.
