Comments from 2007 Authors

“The SBWLF was wonderful: full of smart, warm and engaging readers and fascinating, entertaining and deeply caring authors. It was a powerful day of words and hearts, connection and reflection. I hope to return soon to this very special community.”

“I want to thank you again for inviting me to your truly enlightening festival. I had a fantastic time both as a reader and a writer. It was an honor to be included among those incredible speakers, and a lot of fun to meet so many fans. I can't wait to tell my book club to mark their calendars for next year!”

"The Women's Literary Festival is one of the warmest, most welcoming and empowering literary conferences I've ever attended. The diversity of women presenting and attending was truly a beautiful thing to witness. I left the conference feeling inspired, and motivated to not only write, but to also keep in touch with the new friends I made."
—Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

"The Women's Literary Festival is a writer's dream come true: a room filled with avid readers with a passion for language and a desire to forge connections. I'm not sure who walked away more inspired —the audience or the writers! I certainly left Santa Barbara charged and even more compelled to put pen to paper. Every town should be blessed with such a wonderful literary community."
