The 2022 Sonoma Valley Authors Festival (SVAF) continues online, with 21 sessions from best-selling authors.
We are delighted to offer the festival on demand, so everyone has the opportunity to watch these incredible speakers”
— Co-Founders, David and Ginny Freeman,
At a time when the art of listening seems to be disappearing, the need for civil discourse has never been greater. The Sonoma Valley Authors Festival features speakers and authors who engage listeners eager for thoughtful conversations and discussions of ideas. This year, the entire SVAF event is available to view online, for those who missed the in-person event (August 26-28, 2022).
The 2022 Virtual Sonoma Valley Authors Festival is an additional, digital feature of the annual event. Launched in 2018, SVAF is a curated lecture series designed to “Stimulate the minds and nourishing the souls of readers” by bringing people together to hear exceptional authors from a variety of literary genres, and speakers who are thought leaders in science, technology, and medicine, in a series of “TED-Talk” style presentations.
“We are delighted to offer the festival on demand, so everyone has the opportunity to watch these incredible speakers,” says David and Ginny Freeman, Co-Founders. “From the imaginative historical fiction of Amor Towles and the political intrigue of Bill Browder and Desmond Shum to the astounding debut of Nikki Erlick and the silly, funny hilariousness that is Mary Roach and humorist Dave Barry plus many more, these are remarkable writers, people and thought leaders changing our world.”
Virtual Pass holders will enjoy the gift of lifelong learning, meaningful conversations and world-class authors—for themselves, or as a gift for family and friends. It’s great for book clubs to see a favorite writer, surprise a special book lover, or just to watch festival favorites over again. And the on demand format, with instant electronic delivery, allows viewers to watch from anywhere in the world!
