For more than a half century the Truckee-Tahoe area has hosted a gathering of renowned writers for workshops and other events aimed at propelling the careers of novelists, poets, screenwriters and others.
Entering its 51st year in the area, Community of Writers Fiction Workshop returns Saturday to Olympic Valley with Festival Day. Several authors will give lectures, readings, and other discussions during a daylong event.
The Community of Writers Fiction Workshop, formerly called the Squaw Valley Writers Institute, was launched in 1969 by novelists Blair Fuller and Oakley Hall, whose novel “Warlock” was a finalist for the 1958 Pulitzer Prize. Hall settled in Squaw Valley in the late 1950s and the location inspired some of his works such as “Downhill Racers.”
