- The Key West Literary Seminar is a four-day literary celebration that explores a different theme each year. In January 2026, we’ll focus on the novel. In particular, we’re interested in how the novel, as one of the slowest art forms, is working now in a world of shortened attention spans. And the varied strategies novelists are using to reach audiences that have become more fragmented and subject to increasing distractions.
Join us for this unique opportunity to explore the form and history of the novel with some of its most acclaimed practitioners and interpreters at the 43rd annual Key West Literary Seminar, January 8–11, 2026. Confirmed presenters are pictured below; click through for additional biographical material, brief bibliographies, and links to other resources around the web.
