"The conference was a huge success because the Mendocino community exhibited its love and support for writers of all ages. Thank you for a fabulous three days."

"The Mendocino Coast Writers Conference is the carrot in front of my nose enticing me through our rainy winter."

"The three days last week were the most enjoyable and satisfying I can remember — the staff, the presenters, the students, the writers, the poets, the meals, the parties."

"Here are my favorite things . . . The comfortable, camaraderie of the staff, presenters, and students that made it so easy for everyone to approach everyone else, so that . . . every time I sat down somewhere I was immediately surrounded by talented, interesting people wanting to talk about writing, the writing life, and, sometimes, just life."
