I loved you all, loved Steamboat Springs. I've done countless events over my nearly four decades of being a writer, but your Literary Sojourn was one of the handful of special highlights.

The generous hospitality, postcard perfect setting, and lasting dialogue has made Literary Sojourn among my favorite American literary programs. I didn’t want to leave, but I returned home enriched and enlarged, my faith in the written word powerfully affirmed.

I had an incredible time in Steamboat Springs. Great crowd, and the event was expertly run. Highly recommended.

This is a deep, elegant, compassionate, smart, kind and wild event.

What a fantastic & memorable weekend. It really doesn't get any better for an author. A true love fest.

What a glorious, stupendous program you put together. I was humbled, truly humbled.

The organizers are consummate pros, the town is quirky and interesting, and the audience is fun, smart, well read, and wonderfully appreciative. I had a blast.

Thank you so much for an exceptional two days.  I've been to many festivals but yours is truly unique.  It's rare to find a group of people so passionate about books.

Never before have I seen readers open up to books in such a generous and inspiring manner.

I loved being here in my community of readers and writers. I need to be inspired and re-inspired constantly by other authors, reminding me it is possible to do this task we do.

I'm in Miami this morning, at the tail end of the US tour for Station Eleven, and I have to tell you, when I look back at the tour the festival in Steamboat Springs stands out as such a highlight. It's a wonderful festival and I'm so happy that I had an opportunity to take part in it.

It was an exceptional event, embracing, well-organized, fun, beautiful. I was happy to be included.
