SVWC is a festival of ideas and literature with some of the most extraordinary writers and thinkers in the world, the most generous audience one is ever likely to encounter – close to 1,000 people, a good number of whom wield considerable influence in business, politics, media, and entertainment circles, but all of whom love to read – in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places in the American West. The conference has been going on 17 years and is now considered by many to be the best literary festival in the U.S.

“A total blast. Great crowds! Such a beautiful place. And to be treated like a Hilton sister! Just hanging around that house shooting the literary breeze with Calvin Trillin and David Brooks and Colum McCann. Wow. I’m going to write another book just to get back there. Thanks again.” RICK REILLY, ESPN columnist and essayist; 11 times National Sportswriter of the Year. |
