Barbara Kingsolver, 2010 Keynoter: “San Miguel is full of unexpected riches, different from any other place in Mexico, and the conversations inspired by this Conference were exceptional. The ‘Viva Mexico Fiesta’ goes down in the books as one of the ten best parties I’ve ever attended in my life. I’m sure I can’t remember the other nine.”

Tom Robbins, 2009 Keynoter: “If Dante had had the San Miguel [Writers' Conference] experience, he may have written more about heaven and less about hell.”

Sandra Cisneros, 2011 Keynoter: “I came away [from the San Miguel Writers Conference] deeply changed and enriched, and with a great longing to come back.”

Margaret Atwood, 2012 Keynoter: “The San Miguel Writers’ Conference was truly welcoming. The best and most colourful parties! We were spoiled!”
