A Writing Barn rave from National Book Award finalist, Sara Zarr about her time teaching with us here at The Writing Barn:

“‘A writer I like, Frederick Buechner, says that a personal calling is “where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.’ Most writers I know deeply hunger for a beautiful space and the quiet where they can connect with themselves, others, and their work. And I think Bethany must find her deep gladness in providing such a space.

The Barn and surrounding property are aesthetically beautiful, but it’s Bethany’s heart and skill and the wonderful Austin writing community that bring it all together.

My time teaching at The Writing Barn was a highlight of my year, and I look forward to coming back on a personal retreat!”
