You Belong in This Story.
Readers. Writers. Thinkers. Educators. Lifelong learners.
Every February, people from around the world gather in San Miguel de Allende to celebrate literature. They come to hear remarkable authors, discover new ideas, and experience one of North America’s most beloved literary gatherings.
Many return year after year for another reason.
They found a community.
The San Miguel Writers’ Conference & Literary Festival is where those connections begin. Through the San Miguel Global Literary Institute, they continue throughout the year through literary programs, educational opportunities, scholarships, and conversations that bring readers and writers together across cultures and generations.
Whether you’re joining us as a Patron, sponsor, partner, volunteer, or donor, you’re helping create opportunities for others to experience that same sense of curiosity, discovery, and belonging.
We hope you’ll join us.

What Your Support Makes Possible
Why Your Support Matters
Every literary journey begins with a single conversation.
Sometimes it’s between a reader and an author after a keynote. Sometimes it’s in a workshop where a new idea takes shape. Sometimes it’s a student discovering that their own voice deserves to be heard.
Those moments have always been at the heart of the San Miguel Writers’ Conference.
Through the San Miguel Global Literary Institute, they continue long after the Conference ends.
Your support helps create places where curiosity is encouraged, ideas are exchanged, and friendships are formed. It opens doors for emerging writers, expands educational opportunities, strengthens bilingual programming, and invites people from different cultures and backgrounds to learn from one another through literature.
Every contribution helps ensure those conversations continue.
