Resources for Writers in Santa Fe

Known for its vibrant arts community, Santa Fe also features a wealth of publishers, literary journals, and reading series, as well as independent bookstores that cater to local and regional interests. Authors in New Mexico or visiting the area can take advantage of these resources to find publishing opportunities and network with fellow authors. This list was created by James McGrath Morris and Destiny Allison at New Mexico Writers with input from the Institute of American Indian Arts.

The Authors Guild’s community resources for writers are produced in coordination with our educational series Business Bootcamps for Writers. We will update and add to these community resource lists over time.

To suggest an addition to the Santa Fe community resource list, please contact us.
