The Santa Fe Literary Festival connects writers, readers, and thinkers—from around the world and close to home—in the celebration of words and story.

The Santa Fe International Literary Festival connects writers, readers, and thinkers—from around the world and close to home—in the celebration of words and story.

The Santa Fe International Literary Festival was co-founded by Clare Hertel, Mark Bryant, and Carmella Padilla. The idea for the international festival sprang partially from a 2022 weekend event of a similar name, the Santa Fe Literary Festival, which Hertel and Julia Leonard co-founded with the help of Bryant and Padilla.

The Santa Fe International Literary Festival is a grassroots organization rooted in a love of literature and a commitment to community. The Festival’s co-founders live in Santa Fe and have all worked for decades in the literary field.

The Santa Fe International Literary Festival will take place May 17–19, 2024, bringing together world-renowned authors, thinkers, and passionate readers to celebrate the power of story in a city known throughout the world for its beauty, history, and artistic inspiration.

The three-day festival features big-stage presentations, intimate conversations, and walking tours with literary heroes from near and far. In all, more than thirty Festival events will take place over the weekend at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, in Santa Fe’s historic downtown.
