SVWC 2012 |
For four days this August, SVWC writers and readers will laugh and learn, hike and talk, and stretch the limits of their imagination. The days will be filled with books, ideas, stimulation and fun. Extraordinary writers and thinkers will talk with an engaged audience about their work, the world and why the written word matters. We hope you can join us for SVWC 2012.
