Sun Valley Writers' Conference

The Sun Valley Writers’ Conference is an annual gathering of discerning readers and writers who come together in a gorgeous part of the American West to consider dynamic ideas set forth in fiction, nonfiction, journalism, poetry, and filmmaking. While covering a great breadth of subjects, the conference is always anchored by important literary figures who believe that the literary world can make a difference in the shaping of contemporary culture.
For four days each August, some of the country’s – and the world’s – best writers and thinkers talk about their work, the world (from Haiti to health care, from the economy to monogamy), and why the written word still matters. Together, writers and readers freely exchange ideas, concerns, hopes, and aspirations.
The audience of some 1,000 will enjoy talks presented in the stunning outdoor Sun Valley Music Pavilion, and smaller, more intimate sessions with favorite speakers, as well as theatrical and musical performances and a film on opening day. Accommodations are available at the Sun Valley Resort; reservations can be made online at www.sunvalley.com or by calling 800-786-8259.
The Sun Valley Writers’ Conference is a nonprofit organization that always includes scholarship students and admits teachers and student free of charge. For more information, please visit www.svwc.com.
