Since its birth in 1983 the Key West Literary Seminar has been dedicated to the celebration of the written word and the support of American writers. Each January the Seminar explores a different literary theme through lectures, panel presentations, readings, informal gatherings, and discussions. Audio recording of the Seminar began in 1988; production for the web began in 2007.
