Women Writing the West 2026 Annual Conference
Sponsorship Opportunities
October 15 – 17, 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona
Women Writing the West invites you to partner with us as a sponsor of our annual Conference — a gathering that celebrates women’s voices, stories, and deep connections to the landscapes and cultures of the American West. Each year, our conference brings together writers, readers, educators, historians, and creatives from across the country for several days of learning, conversation, and community. Together, we explore craft, history, place, and the enduring power of story.
Sponsorship support makes this gathering possible. It helps us create an accessible, welcoming experience while honoring excellence in women’s writing and fostering meaningful connections among attendees. As a sponsor, you’ll gain visibility with an engaged, values-aligned audience while demonstrating your commitment to literature, creativity, and community. We offer a range of sponsorship opportunities—from tiered levels to event and program sponsorships—allowing you to choose a level of involvement that best fits your goals.
We would be honored to welcome you as a partner in this year’s Women Writing the West Conference. Thank you for supporting women writers and the stories of the West.
With gratitude,
Suzi Minor
President, Women Writing the West
