Saturday, December 6th, 2025

Utah Authors Day is a tradition dating back to the 1930s that was revived by the League of Utah Writers in 2021. This holiday, which is recognized annually with an official declaration from the governor, is a fantastic opportunity to bring writers into their local communities to meet readers and celebrate Utah's wealth of literary talent.

A huge thanks to all who applied, authors we were able to place will receive an acceptance email with further details.

For any questions, please contact utahauthorsday@leagueofutahwriters.org
