Join us in July for these FREE evening talks
The Sun Valley Writers’ Conference is excited to be partnering with our local Community Library to bring you free lectures in July 2025.
More information about these free talks will be announced in May.
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SPEAKER SERIES
Since 2017, the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference has partnered with The Community Library in Ketchum to host free literary lectures for the local community. In 2021, the partnership expanded to become our year-round Community Speaker Series, featuring multiple free talks throughout the year, with a few speakers “bookending” the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference each July.
These talks, bringing our country’s brightest literary minds directly to the Sun Valley community, are typically held outdoors at Ketchum’s Forest Service Park or at The Community Library. They are free and open to the public (registration required). Past presenters include Judy Blume, John Vaillant, Javier Zamora, Curtis Sittenfeld, Imbolo Mbue, Erich Schwartzel, Ayad Akhtar, Tobias Wolff, Susan Orlean, and many more.
