The Todos Santos Writers Workshop celebrates our 12th anniversary Winter Session, February 1 - 8, 2025. We will welcome old friends, new writers, and our esteemed faculty to our new home at La Posada del Molino, in the heart of Todos Santos.
The week kicks off with our tradtional Tamale Reception, on Saturday night, Feb 1, before classes begin the following morning. We will be presenting two late afternoon Craft & Cocktails events, as well as a Faculty Reading night. Our fantastic Friday Fiesta Night, with a dinner and regional dancing to the music of a hot local group, precedes the final Open Mic Night, where everyone is encouraged to read an excerpt from what they've been working on all week---creating literary mágico together at TSWW, #LitHappens!
Details of the full program will be supplied to all registered atterndees.
We'd love for you to join us for the upcoming year, and other events to be announced. Please use our application form to register, or to be be included in our mailing list.
