The 2023 Chautauqua Writers’ Festival takes place over the four days (Wednesday to Saturday) before Week One of Chautauqua Institution’s summer season commences and will be happening in person and on the grounds this year. 

In addition to the Festival’s tradition of intensive workshops and optional à la carte one-on-one conferences with award-winning contemporary authors, attendees can also experience panel conversations, and a keynote address. The 2023 theme is “Hope” and these various conversations will draw fruitful and urgent connections between the personal, the political, and the craft of writing.
