We put this question to our 2025 Writing Fellows: "These scholarships, fellowships, and free passes are made possible by our donors. What would you like to say to a donor, if you had the opportunity?"
"You are helping people like me understand established writers in a way I could only know by being with these people as peers. I am more motivated than ever feeling like this work really does matter. Thank you."
-Tracy Abeyta, graduate of the Institution for American Indian Arts (2024)

From our local @thecommunitylibraryketchum`s Hispanic Heritage reading list, check out "LatinoLand" this month! More at the link in bio. #HispanicHeritageMonth
"A perfect representation of Latino diversity" (The Washington Post), LatinoLand draws from hundreds of interviews and prodigious research to give us both a vibrant portrait and the little-known history of our largest and fastest-growing minority, in "a work of prophecy, sympathy, and courage" (Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author).

“Sun Valley really rejuvenated us in so many ways, tangible and otherwise. And personally, as a writer, it felt miraculous and life-affirming.”
