Key West, developed as an isolated island by settlers from a broad variety of places and cultures, is home to dozens of churches. Among them are this Center Street church, founded in 1875 by black "High Church" Anglicans who had emigrated from the Bahamas.

The Hungry Muse: An Exploration of Food in Literature will include two four-day Seminars. Session One will take place January 6 - 9, followed by Session Two January 13 - 16. Each session has a distinct roster of speakers and schedule; you may register for either or both sessions. The cost is $495 per session, or $950 for both; this includes all events and receptions. A deposit of $100 will hold your place, with the balance due in September. Advance registration is strongly encouraged, as an early sell-out is likely.

Our Writers' Workshop Program will take place January 9 - 13. The cost for each workshop ranges from $400 to $450. A $50 discount is available for most workshops, when taken in combination with the Seminar. A $100 deposit will hold your place in the workshop program.

All speaking events take place at the San Carlos Institute, one of Florida's most beautiful and historic landmarks. Receptions are at various locations within walking distance of the San Carlos. The complete program of events will be announced in late summer or early fall. For a general sense of the Seminar program, which begins on Thursday evening and concludes Sunday afternoon, please download the .pdf of the schedule for last year's event.
