La Fonda on the Plaza, 100 E San Francisco Street, Santa Fe, NM, 87501, United States.

Our annual dinner, now in its seventh year, brings established and aspiring writers together to celebrate and inspire each other and serves to celebrate each year’s grant recipients. Our 2025 dinner includes happy hour, raffles, a celebration of past and new grantees, and a keynote address by Billy Luther, an Indigenous film writer, producer, and director. Luther (Diné, Hopi, and Laguna Pueblo) has made several documentaries and short films, but is best known for his 2023 award-winning feature film “Frybread Face and Me.” Currently, Luther is a writer and director for the award-winning AMC series “Dark Winds,” based on the Leaphorn and Chee novels by acclaimed New Mexico author Tony Hillerman.

 

We hope that you will consider adding a donation to assist writers who may need financial support to attend the event. Your tax-deductible donation will be used to create a set of reduced-price tickets that will be distributed to these writers. You will find a place to add your donation "So Others May Attend" at the bottom of the page.
