2010 Writers Workshops in Sayulita Mexico
 PVNN
October 13, 2009
Founded in late 2009 by published author Justin Henderson, The Sayulita Writers Workshops offer aspiring and professional writers and writing teachers an opportunity to experience Mexico in a relaxed, welcoming setting: a small, colorful, and lively beachfront town with an eclectic population mix of Mexicans and expat Americans and Europeans.
The program, too, is eclectic, this first year, with classes ranging from your fundamental, How to Write a Novel, taught by best-selling novelist Jennifer Belle, to The Art and Soul of Food Writing, taught by author-chef-blogger Becky Selengut, and everything in between.
Both aspiring and already successful writers will find something of interest to study, from techniques of memoir writing to blogging for a book deal. And what a great place to hang out and write between classes!
The picturesque fishing village of Sayulita, Nayarit, is truly one of the great Mexican beach towns. Nestled in a gentle palm tree-lined bay just 45 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta airport, Sayulita offers incredible beaches, lush jungles and a taste of rural Mexico.
