Each year, the Guest Writers Series at the University of Utah brings distinguished authors to Salt Lake City. Our goal is to provide our community with an opportunity to engage in a dynamic, educational and inspiring relationship with literature. We aim to bring in a diverse array of voices and perspectives, and to provide a platform for an enriching dialogue between our authors and the audience.

The Borderlands Conference is a bi-annual gathering of four award-winning authors from Mexico and the US, presenting and discussing their creative engagements with the history and culture of the borderlands.

All events are free and open to the public.
