A 50th Anniversary Event: The Best of the West

POSTPONED: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. STAY TUNED FOR NEW DATE

Join Us  on April 16, 2020 at The Annenberg Community Beach House for an evening of readings to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Community of Writers.
For fifty years the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley has assembled in the California Sierra Nevada led by writers, agents, and publishers and has encouraged the careers of hundreds of writers of fiction, nonfiction and poetry.  In this 50th anniversary celebration, local So Cal writers read on behalf of this legendary experiment in collaboration and sustenance of the art and craft of writing and the imagination.
Our extraordinary readers this evening once attended the Community of Writers as participants.

PLEASE NOTE: We are very sorry to report that the Annenberg Community Beach House has cancelled this reading due to public health concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic.  We will reschedule this event for the Fall, TBD.  We all send our thanks to everyone who has been so supportive, and look forward to a terrific event later on. Stay tuned for more details.
