Lit Fest - Lighthouse Writers Workshop 2026

The novel that takes twenty years, the memoir that won’t cohere, the one hundredth agent who says no thanks, or worse, just ignores you — disappointment, doubt and fear are part of the process. Of course, so is gloriousness. In this two-hour workshop, we’ll air it all out: the anxieties, the self-sabotage, the night terrors. Together we’ll examine how other writers have pushed through fear and flagging confidence, and we’ll discuss practical strategies for surviving. Bring your doubts and worries; you’ll leave with a sturdier sense of what it takes to keep going until the work is done.
