Thanks for … once again, for the very nice reception and it is the best audience anywhere. (Also a great auditorium!) Renewed thanks for a really nice (though brief) time. And congratulations! You did/do an amazing job.

Everything was extremely well run. Sunnylands was unforgettable! Please convey our gratitude to the whole team involved in running the conference.

I hope this finds you still in the glow of last weekend’s amazing festival. I just wanted to send my deepest thanks and gratitude for your invitation. The talk itself is pretty much going to be etched into my mind forever!

Thank you for that truly wonderful visit to Rancho Mirage. I was so impressed by the festival you’ve put together—thoughtful and courteous organizers, great writers, smart audience members and the most splendid of settings.

Thank you so much for putting on such a special festival and for welcoming me as a guest. I had the most fun and met so many fascinating authors, angels and attendees.

The Rancho Mirage Writer’s Festival is a paradise for readers and writers.

Thank you for such an incredible time at the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival! I couldn’t have imagined more thoughtful, engaged audience—an author’s dream. I was also thrilled to see that we sold out of the book!

Thank you so much for having me to the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival. I loved my days there. The small group on Friday was especially meaningful; it’s rare to actually get to know people at writers’ festivals (I’ve been to many) and it was wonderful to talk about something real for a long time in your beautiful glass building with its amazing vistas. I’m still thinking about the light.

I must have done every major (and minor) festival and book convention in the country, and from the author’s point of view, this was, hands down, the best. You delivered a smart, eager audience who made the effort worthwhile, and there were no duds amongst the authors.

Thanks so much for the grand welcome this week. The preparation and execution of the entire festival were exemplary, and I feel very lucky to have been included.

Many congratulations on the undoubted triumph of the recent Festival. Pat and I certainly had a wonderful time and are indebted to you and your colleagues for enriching our lives so much during these past few days. Brava! Everything was so well organized and enjoyable and, not least, we made many new friends.
