Every summer for over four decades, 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. Their goal is to assist writers to improve their craft and move them closer to publication. Squaw Valley, located in the California Sierra Nevada, close to the north shore of Lake Tahoe, is a ski resort, the site of the 1960 Olympics. Summers are warm and sunny; the area offers mountains, alpine lakes, and streams. Participants will have opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings.
Their poetry workshop will be offered July 16 - 23 and will feature Robert Hass, Brenda Hillman, Cathy Park Hong, Major Jackson, Sharon Olds, and special guest Galway Kinnell. Deadline for application submissions is May 10th.
The writers workshop will be offered August 6 - 13. The special guests, among many other participants, are Sam Barry, Kathy Goldmark, Oakley Hall III, Diane Johnson, Anne Lamott, David Lukas, Malcolm Margolin, and Amy Tan. Submissions deadline is May 10.
The screenwriting workshop is also August 6 - 13, with a submissions date of May 10. The screenwriting staff is Eugene Corr, Pamela Gray, Toney Merritt, Patricia Meyer, Christopher Monger, Judith Rascoe, Tom Rickman,Lisa Rosenberg, Tom Schlesinger, Camille Thomasson, and Michael Urban.
