48th Annual Squaw Valley Community of Writers Conference

For 47 summers, the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley has brought together poets and prose writers for separate weeks of workshops, individual conferences, lectures, panels, readings, and discussions of the craft and the business of writing. The event’s aim is to assist writers in the refinement of their craft and thus, in an atmosphere of camaraderie and mutual support, move them closer to achieving their goals. The Community of Writers holds its summer writing workshops in Squaw Valley in the ski lodge at the foot of the ski slopes. Panels, talks, staff readings and workshops take place in these venues with a spectacular view up the mountain.

Capital Public Radio’s Beth Ruyak will moderate “The Fiction Writer’s New Toolbox: Novelists Read From Their Memoirs, Discuss the Essential Challenges of Writing From Life.”
