Celebrations

For the love of writing

Jackson Hole Writers celebrates the love of writing with special events that invite participants to work closely with inspiring writers to generate new writing that might surprise, motivate and energize your creative practice.

We see these celebrations as focusing on a core component of the writing process. If our conference emphasizes the skills and steps necessary to pursue publication, and our craft classes and critique groups help writers build skills and find community in the writer’s life, our celebrations focus on the joy and passion we experience as writers when making new work. The writing process can be challenging. Our celebrations honor that it can also be FUN!

House Reads

Join us at Alpine House on the third Wednesday of every month for an evening gathering featuring local writers. Jackson Hole Writers and Alpine House host an open mic in the Alpine House lobby with snacks and beverages available. Each month will feature a 15-minute reading by a local author and an open mic for any and all who want to share their original writing.

Pre-conference Celebration

Young Authors Publication: A Special Collaboration

We partner with the student editors of Jackson Hole High School’s literary magazine, Spark, to produce digital and print editions that feature excerpts of student writing to celebrate Young Authors Contest winners and honorable mentions. See the 2026 and 2025 editions here.

This project was funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.
