Chronicle Books has published our first book of fiction craft lectures available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.
Since 1969, the prestigious Community of Writers at Valley has helped develop the art and craft of many who are now household names. Instructors such as Michael Chabon, Mark Childress, Diane Johnson, Anne Lamott, Robert Stone, and Amy Tan have distilled their advice and wisdom from seminars and lectures, and the result is a book that captures the workshop experience of complete submersion in the writing process. With an introduction by novelist and short story master Richard Ford, himself a conference attendee in the 1970s, this volume gives the writer and dedicated reader a jolt of inspiration, sharp insight into matters of technique, and a feeling of camaraderie with a writing community. $14.95 |
The Squaw Valley Review The Squaw Valley Review 2008 is published! The Squaw Valley Community of Writers Poetry Program continues the tradition of publishing a collection of poems begun during the poets' week together in July. Poets submitted three poems--whether completely revised or exactly the same as the day the poem was first imagined--and three volunteer editors (participants of the Poetry Program) selected which poems to include in the Review. Proceeds benefit the Scholarship Fund, enabling more poets to attend this beautiful retreat near the Lake Tahoe Mountains. $10.00 |
