SLO NightWriters General Meeting

5:15 pm (PT) Critique Group Round Table

6:30 pm (PT) General Meeting Presentation


Victoria Kastner


Victoria Kastner spent three decades as the official historian at Hearst Castle. Her fascination with its enigmatic architect, Julia Morgan, began back in the 1970s, when she took a tour of Castle and was told, “A woman built this, but we don’t know anything about her.” Victoria is the author of the definitive trilogy on San Simeon’s history, published by Abrams Books: Hearst Castle: The Biography of a Country House, with a foreword by George Plimpton; Hearst’s San Simeon: The Gardens and the Land; and Hearst Ranch: Family, Land, and Legacy. Victoria’s latest volume, Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect, draws on interviews, letters, and newly discovered diaries to reveal Julia Morgan’s inspiring private life, which was as remarkable as the career she forged as the world’s most prominent female architect.

Victoria is a sought-after lecturer who has spoken at such venues as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, as well as making many appearances on television and film. Victoria has a master’s degree in Public History with a specialty in architectural history from UC Santa Barbara, and a master’s degree in museum management from George Washington University. She has also published works on the Beverly Hills Hotel, Bernard Maybeck’s Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, and the novels of Charles Dickens.
