Literary Sojourn is a nonprofit author and reader festival presented by Bud Werner Memorial Library, the public library in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Founded in 1993 with a mission to bring noteworthy authors to our mountain community and promote and inspire the reading of exceptional literature, Literary Sojourn is the oldest and most anticipated literary festival in the Rocky Mountains. The program features presentations by internationally acclaimed authors who individually talk about their inspiration for the stories and characters in their published works. Book sales are featured on-site throughout the entire event, and a casual book signing with all the authors concludes the festival. The 2026 featured authors are Kiran Desai, Katie Kitamura, Adam Johnson, Susan Orlean and Maria Reva, with master of ceremonies Ron Charles. For more information visit www.literarysojourn.org. The event is for ages 15 and up.
