Key West Literary Seminar 2025

The Key West Literary Seminar is a four-day event that brings readers from all over the world to join with today's best writers for conversations, readings, lectures, parties and more!

January 9- 12, 2025


For 2025 , our theme is just a one word: FAMILY

The Key West Literary Seminar is a four-day literary celebration that explores a different theme each year. In January 2025, we’ll turn our attention to family — the one we’re born into, those we’ve later built or chosen, and the ones we’ve lost or found or run as far away from as possible. For “Family,” we aim to bring together writers who can help us understand how the ties that bind shape the stories we tell, the worlds we move through, and all the imagination’s possibilities for human connection.

Join us for an unforgettable literary exploration of family with these acclaimed authors at the 42nd annual Key West Literary Seminar, January 9–12, 2025.
