"If Dante had had the San Miguel experience, he may have written more about heaven and less about hell." Tom Robbins, 2008"We writers adore the clever, imaginative Literary Sala, the enthusiastic audiences, and the opportunity to learn.”Alice Denham, NY & SMA. Author, Sleeping With the Bad Boys.“There are many wonderful things in San Miguel ... but one of the finest is our Literary Sala. It is always an inspiration, a wake-up to new ideas & raising of consciousness that can't be avoided, if one just shows up”. Elsmarie Norby"I have been enormously moved by the enjoyable presentations of the San Miguel Authors Sala. Not only are the writers well-prepared, their talks are interesting and often emotional. Several years ago at the Writers' Conference, Sena Jeter Naslund made one of the most remarkable talks I have ever heard. It was a moving experience."Wayne Greenhaw, Montgomery, Alabama & San Miguel de Allende
“The Literary Sala events have been a constant source of intellectual stimulation and inspiration. They have become an integral part of our cultural experience and always meet our high expectations.” Adrienne and Arnie Brookstone
The Literary Sala exists to enrich your literary life, be it as a fan of literature or as a writer. After a career in book publishing, I began to write in San Miguel . . . the Literary Sala is my steadfast, codependent enabler as I shift from workaholic editor to obsessive observer and writer.
Vicki Gundrum, peripatetic, often in San Francisco and San Miguel

Thirty two Writers Capture the Magic of San Miguel!
Solamente En San Miguel, the San Miguel Literary Sala's first anthology, published in 2007, takes you into the heart of a 400-year-old town where modern meets antiquity; where burros trek between American cars as they wind between the easels of award-winning artists and rub elbows with writers from every genre; where you can sip a decaf latte next door to a tortilla shop and in all likelihood run across a procession or fireworks on your way home, being careful not to slip on the cobblestones or step into a pothole.

| | This anthology is both a love letter to a unique place and its people, and a celebration of the diversity and talent of its writers. Its thirty-two richly varied contributions include short stories, memoir, poetry, humor, and essays. Seven of them are presented both in their original Spanish and in English translation.
For an insider's view of San Miguel, look no further.
One reviewer says. "Solamente En San Miguel is a collection that fully creates, cobblestone by cobblestone, story by story, the atmosphere, the culture, the people, the reality of San Miguel as viewed by those who know and love it. The scents, sounds, colors, tastes, and emotions—the full spectrum of San Miguel is presented with great care."
