Some of the instructors and special guests for Squaw Valley’s 2005 writers’ workshop have been listed on the web site (although it seems there is still more info forthcoming). They include: Elissa Schappell, Mark Childress, Sands Hall, Carol Edgarian, Tom Jenks, Alan Cheuse, Amy Tan, Diane Johnson and many more, including some to be announced (and the poetry workshop has Lucille Clifton, Sharon Olds and Galway Kinnell–wow!). I had such a kick-ass revelatory time last year that I think I’m going to apply again and see what happens. Who’s with me? Submission deadline is May 10, 2005 so there’s plenty of time to decide and polish up a story or a chapter.
