The 30th Annual Literary Seminar

The 30th Annual Key West Literary Seminar takes place January 5–8, 2012. “Yet Another World: Literature of the Future” features some of the most innovative writers working today: Margaret Atwood, Douglas Coupland, Michael Cunningham, Jennifer Egan, Rivka Galchen, William Gibson, James Gleick, Robert Krulwich, Jonathan Lethem, Janna Levin, Valerie Martin, Joyce Carol Oates, Dexter Palmer, George Saunders, Gary Shteyngart, James Tate, Colson Whitehead, and Charles Yu. Together with these esteemed writers, we will explore the potential of the present moment, pursuing it through dystopian, utopian, and imagined worlds that shed light on our current condition.

This four-day program explores a unique literary theme each January. The Writers’ Workshop Program offers instruction and community to writers of all levels, while their awards and scholarships recognize emerging writers of exceptional merit and support teachers and librarians. Through Littoral, their online journal, and their Audio Archives Project, they present exclusive literary resources to readers worldwide! Visit www.kwls.org for more information.
