Authors at Large

your words, our commitment

“When I was starting out as a biographer I had all sorts of worries and doubts, so I signed up for Robin Hemley's Authors At Large retreat in Luang Prabang for June 2020. The pandemic had other ideas and the retreat was moved online, as was everything else that year. As it turned out, the online retreat was the most productive week I've ever spent in my writing career and with Robin's instruction and enthusiasm I was able to figure out how to structure and start to write my biography. I ended up working with Robin one-on-one for the rest of that year and several months into 2021. A year after that, I signed a book deal with my dream editor at a traditional press. I know I never could have gotten this far without Robin's help!”
