Novelist Michelle Wildgen Joins Todos Santos Writers Workshop's February 2024 Winter Session

Novelist Michelle Wildgen has joined the faculty of the Todos Santos Writers Workshop for the 11th annual winter session, Feb. 4 - 10, 2024. Wildgen, a longtime editor at Tin House magazine, and author of four novels, will lead the fiction class. Wildgen joins Christopher Merrill (poetry), Karen Karbo (memoir), Jeanne McCulloch (memoir), and Rex Weiner (storytelling strategies) in the acclaimed creative writing retreat's teaching lineup in Baja California Sur.

Wildgen's most recent novel, "Wine People," published in August 2023 by Zibby Books, is described as "A riveting, behind-the-scenes portrait of a high-drama industry, from the chateau to the corner office... pour a glass and dive in," by Oprah Daily.

"I've known Michelle since we were colleagues at Tin House," said TSWW co-founder and co-director Jeanne McCulloch. "In addition to being a gifted writer and editor, she is a wise and generous teacher who understands craft on a fundamental level. She also happens to be a fabulous person, our students will be very fortunate to work with her."

"I'm thrilled to join the incredible faculty at Todos Santos Writers Workshop and to work with the brilliant Jeanne McCulloch once again," said Wildgen. "Something truly special happens for the writers around these tables, and I'm honored to be a part of it."
