Mission: The mission of the Squaw Valley Community of Writers, established in 1970, is to assist talented writers, with diverse cultural perspectives, to achieve their goals in the genres they pursue. Through the interplay of professionals, established writers and talented participants in a community atmosphere, fiction writers are assisted in their arduous journey from writer to author, poets to achieve a resonant framework for their collected words, and screenwriters to see their work realized in film.
Target demographics: writers improve their craft and thus move them closer to achieving their goals.
Geographic areas served: Squaw Valley, CA
Programs: The Squaw Valley Community of Writers has three week-long summer writing workshops: Poetry, Writers Workshops, and Screenwriting. Regular morning workshops, staff readings, craft talks, panel discussions on writing and editing, as well as individual conferences are offered during the week. Donations can be directed to particular programs' Scholarship Funds which pay for tuition, or can be directed to general operations for specific programs.
