​The Rocky Mountain Literary Festival is a vibrant cultural event in a gorgeous setting. My books found devoted, passionate readers and I enjoyed a day of excellent conversation and mountain hospitality. I was honored to speak and delighted to attend. Thank you!  -Melanie Crowder

The Rocky Mountain Literary Festival is a superb event for writers and readers alike. The RMLF makes an incredibly worthwhile contribution to supporting literature and education with the scholarships it endows, and it is a wonderful addition to Colorado’s cultural landscape. It was such an honour to be a part of this special day.

"Thank you for the kind invitation and superb hospitality. I've planned events and can appreciate the time and effort required to bring one off 'without a hitch'. Especially the timing which was spot on! "    - Dan Hampton

"... it was a real pleasure to participate in The Rocky Mountain Literary Festival, which... was an incredibly well-oiled machine with tons of literary firepower yet still managed to feel as friendly and intimate as a weekend in the Rocky Mountains ought to feel."  - Tim Johnston

 "... one of the most well-run, exciting events I’ve been honored to speak at. Not only does this event raise funds for a scholarship for at-need students for college, but it also promotes reading and literature and community."    -Laura Pritchett

"...The Rocky Mountain Literary Festival is the right size, for the right cause -- and I say the odds are overwhelming that it will stay on the Colorado literary scene for a long time. Thank you for allowing me to participate."   - Manuel Ramos

 "...a marvelous event..., the Festival provides authors   an incredible opportunity to connect with devoted readers, and provides readers a unique chance to hear writers speak about their work in a relaxed, personal setting."   -Cynthia Swanson
