Celebrating our 30th Anniversary
Thirty years ago, the founders of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference sat around a kitchen table and dreamt up what would become today’s premier literary conference. Over the last three decades, more than 500 poets, playwrights, historians, novelists, journalists, musicians, and more have graced the stage at SVWC.
We hope you will join us as we celebrate this momentous occasion.

When asked what attracts him to historical fiction, Erik Larson replied that his goal is to “create as rich an experience as I possibly can so the reader can sink into the past…”. Larson’s many best-selling, award-winning books do just that. At #SVWC2024, Larson will take us on another journey back in time with his latest book, "The Demon of Unrest," a suspense-filled tale that brings to life the pivotal five months between Lincoln’s election and the start of the Civil War.
