2014 Writer's Symposium by the Sea: Writing That's Raw

87Some like it raw. Writing, that is.

The theme for the 19th year of Writer’s Symposium by the Sea is “writing that’s raw.” If you ask author and memoirist Anne Lamott what that means, she will suggest (in her oh-so charming way) that you tell the truth and “take out all the stuff that’s show-offy and overkill.”

Lamott is just one of the authors to sit with Dean Nelson during this year’s Writer’s Symposium. Other writers include best-selling author of The Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls, and author, New York Times columnist and master storyteller, Samuel Freedman.
