For three days this summer, from Saturday, July 19th through Monday, July 21st, thousands of people will gather in Sun Valley, Idaho, to celebrate the written word. The 31st annual Sun Valley Writers’ Conference (SVWC) will feature some of today’s biggest and brightest literary stars, including Max Boot, Griffin Dunne, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Colum McCann, Liz Moore, Ruth Reichl, Ocean Vuong, and a feature performance by The Improvised Shakespeare Company, along with many more. Stay tuned for our Writer in the World announcement coming in May 2025, with a very special surprise speaker!

Passes go on sale Tuesday, February 25th at 10am Mountain Time.
