Profile of Annual Celebration in Key West

The Sarasota Herald Tribune recently profiled Key West and the Key West Literary Seminar that takes place each January.

The Literary Seminar celebrates authors like Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, and, Judy Blume and highlights their work and their love for Key West. The festival is attended by authors like Amy Tan, Gore Vidal and Margaret Atwood.

The Seminar gives writers enthusiasm for writing and offers serious literary discussion mixed with fun Key West parties. The 3-day seminar costs only $500 and has a writer’s workshop for an additional cost. Each year, the festival celebrates a different theme.

The festival will celebrate its 28th year in 2010 with the theme “Clearing the Sill of the World” which will explore 60 years of American poetry, and in 2011 the theme will be “Food as Muse”.
