All the Ways to Join SVWC
At the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, we aim to educate, inspire, and spark a lifelong love of literature and learning. Each summer, we bring the country’s leading writers and thinkers to Sun Valley to share ideas, explore big questions, and ignite curiosity.
As one of the country’s most sought-after literary gatherings, our venues can’t accommodate all the booklovers we wish to welcome—and we recognize that cost can also be a barrier. That is why we have opened our doors each year, both virtually and in-person, to make SVWC as accessible as possible. Our deepest commitment is to our Wood River Valley community—including teachers, students, educators, and librarians—but we also embrace readers and writers from underserved communities worldwide.
See below for all the ways you can participate. We also recommend signing up for our email newsletter to receive important updates and information about these events.
