Squaw Valley Writer's Conference
- Squaw Valley Writer's Conference
The Squaw Valley Writer's Conference is an annual writer's conference organized by the "Squaw Valley Community of Writers." Founded by novelist Oakley Hall and writer Blair Fuller, it is held each summer in Olympic Valley, California. Noted authors who have been associated with the conference over the years include Michael Chabon, Richard Ford, Amy Tan, Robert Stone, Alice Sebold, Janet Fitch, Ayelet Waldman, Louis B. Jones and Jay Gummerman.
Workshops are held in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and screenwriting. In 2007, "Writers Workshop in a Book: The Squaw Valley Community of Writers on the Art of Fiction," edited by Alan Cheuse and Lisa Alvarez, with a foreword by Richard Ford, was published. The Community of Writers once sponsored the "Art of the Wild Writers' Conference" along with U.C. Davis but that program has been discontinued.
