Workshop leaders Linda Watanabe McFerrin  and Joanna Biggar are off on another adventure. They have floated down the Canal du Midi in France, danced in the sunlight of southern Greece, toasted the best of times in Ireland,  devoured the culture and countryside of southern Italy, wandered through landscapes lost and found in Costa Rica with their merry band of travel writers … and now they land in faraway Indonesia to explore an island that is known as an earthly Paradise. The writers return with a varied collection of tales, some mystical, some funny, some terrifying—each in a different, highly personal voice. From temples to Balinese feasts to classical music and dance, the writers here sample and share the multiple faces of Bali.

They’re off on another adventure, this time to the City of Light. More than a city, Paris is actually a world of its own, and as these very imaginative literary wanderers discover, it’s a destination layered in time. This time workshop leaders Linda Watanabe McFerrin and Joanna Biggar and their worldly companions uncover some surprising new facets of the much-celebrated metropolis. Their personal lives connect with all that makes Paris astounding. Addressing Parisian luminaries, art, fashion, music, cuisine and passion, they present a sometimes shimmering, sometimes shadowy picture of a city that defies cliché.

Award-winning anthology at the Paris Book Festival, London Book Festival, Indiefab Book Awards, and 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards! This time Wanderland Writers venture deep into Cornwall, exploring its craggy coasts, its castles, its contrasts. They find, of course, its legacy of Camelot, the lingering shadows of Arthurian legend, tragic love, magic, and Merlin. They also find its sorrows, buried deep in its history like the now closed mines, where the windswept moors and jagged coasts made everyday events of shipwrecks, isolation, cave-ins. Yet, as workshop leaders Joanna Biggar and Linda Watanabe McFerrin and their fellow travelers discover, that is not the whole story. They also encounter the wonderful and hospitable Cornish, with their enchanting accents, their delightful yarns, their humor, their endurance. They wander, bicycle, hike and kayak to explore hills, waterways, villages and moors in search of the spirit of artists and writers who have come before them to leave an imprint on this untamed land.

Wandering in Cornwall: Mystery, Mirth and Transformation in the Land of Ancient Celts

Thirty stories and poems by the award-winning Wanderland Writers. Workshop leaders Linda Watanabe McFerrin and Joanna Biggar led a search for the soul of southern Spain. Along the way the writers discovered a country ripe with contradiction: an arid landscape filled with lush gardens; the practice of elaborate Christian rituals in churches echoing a rich Islamic past; a land of bullfighters, gypsies, poets, philosophers and scholars; a place where duende and alegria coexist. As they spread out in this inviting territory, they encountered—and wrote about—Columbus and the Christian monarchs; tapas and toreadors; sherry and sangria; caliphs and communists; flamenco and, yes, flamingos.
