  • When powerhouse @lesliezemeckis announced the inaugural @sb_literary_festival, I knew I had to come. From my debut @ineverymirror to featuring my current novel @bitterhoneybook in the @montecitojournal, she has always been an incredible champion and kind supporter of my work. 💕🌟 So I flew in from Sweden to experience one of the most joy-filled weekends of my literary career. The energy was vibrant, warm, and peaceful. All my fellow authors were kind, generous, and delightful. Hugs, laughs, and soul chats were shared. And I’ve left with new friends 🩵🤍 I sat on a panel about identity moderated by Heather alongside Byron and Christina, and I taught a workshop on how to write fiction like a travel writer. And to have BITTER HONEY be awarded the Contemporary Fiction of the Year was an absolute blessing. A book I poured everything into. Thank you! 💙🧡 This is the blue ocean of creativity I always seek out. Where I can learn from fellow trailblazers while expanding too. Thank you Sivani @wayfaringsiv for being such a fabulous host and friend ❤️ Thank you Leslie 💕. Thank you Santa Barbara Literary Festival 🩵🤍 It was an incredible honor to be part of the first ever festival and I can’t wait to now make it my annual pilgrimage next year! Check out my SB Lit Fest Highlights for all the action behind the scenes. #literaryfestival #santabarbara #sblitfest #booktour #bitterhoneybook

When powerhouse @lesliezemeckis announced the inaugural @sb_literary_festival, I knew I had to come. From my debut @ineverymirror to featuring my current novel @bitterhoneybook in the @montecitojournal, she has always been an incredible champion and kind supporter of my work. 💕🌟 So I flew in from Sweden to experience one of the most joy-filled weekends of my literary career. The energy was vibrant, warm, and peaceful. All my fellow authors were kind, generous, and delightful. Hugs, laughs, and soul chats were shared. And I’ve left with new friends 🩵🤍 I sat on a panel about identity moderated by Heather alongside Byron and Christina, and I taught a workshop on how to write fiction like a travel writer. And to have BITTER HONEY be awarded the Contemporary Fiction of the Year was an absolute blessing. A book I poured everything into. Thank you! 💙🧡 This is the blue ocean of creativity I always seek out. Where I can learn from fellow trailblazers while expanding too. Thank you Sivani @wayfaringsiv for being such a fabulous host and friend ❤️ Thank you Leslie 💕. Thank you Santa Barbara Literary Festival 🩵🤍 It was an incredible honor to be part of the first ever festival and I can’t wait to now make it my annual pilgrimage next year! Check out my SB Lit Fest Highlights for all the action behind the scenes. #literaryfestival #santabarbara #sblitfest #booktour #bitterhoneybook

Thank you Santa Barbara Literary Festival 🩵🤍 It was an incredible honor to be part of the first ever festival and I can’t wait to now make it my annual pilgrimage next year! Check out my SB Lit Fest Highlights for all the action behind the scenes. #literaryfestival #santabarbara #sblitfest #booktour #bitterhoneybook
When powerhouse @lesliezemeckis announced the inaugural @sb_literary_festival, I knew I had to come. From my debut @ineverymirror to featuring my current novel @bitterhoneybook in the @montecitojournal, she has always been an incredible champion and kind supporter of my work. 💕🌟 So I flew in from Sweden to experience one of the most joy-filled weekends of my literary career. The energy was vibrant, warm, and peaceful. All my fellow authors were kind, generous, and delightful. Hugs, laughs, and soul chats were shared. And I’ve left with new friends 🩵🤍 I sat on a panel about identity moderated by Heather alongside Byron and Christina, and I taught a workshop on how to write fiction like a travel writer. And to have BITTER HONEY be awarded the Contemporary Fiction of the Year was an absolute blessing. A book I poured everything into. Thank you! 💙🧡 This is the blue ocean of creativity I always seek out. Where I can learn from fellow trailblazers while expanding too. Thank you Sivani @wayfaringsiv for being such a fabulous host and friend ❤️ Thank you Leslie 💕.
