Writers Workshop in a Book: the Squaw Valley Community of Writers on the Art of Writing
edited by Alan Cheuse and Lisa Alvarez with an introduction by Richard Ford
Chronicle Books (June 7, 2007)
"Since 1969, the prestigious Squaw Valley Community of Writers has helped develop the art and craft of many who are now household names. Instructors such as Michael Chabon, Mark Childress, Diane Johnson, Anne Lamott, Robert Stone, and Amy Tan have distilled their advice and wisdom from seminars and lectures, and the result is a book that captures the workshop experience of complete submersion in the writing process. With an introduction by novelist and short story master Richard Ford, himself a conference attendee in the 1970s, this volume gives the writer and dedicated reader a jolt of inspiration, sharp insight into matters of technique, and a feeling of camaraderie with a writing community."So they say.

Looks great!
Not shameless at all!
Is this a real book from a real publisher?
Congratulations!!! I should attend that thing, actually. And: I like the new blog template!
Reb,
What a wonderful accomplishment -- and what high praise! I say get it in the local papers, too. This brings credit to you, our department and our college.
Bravo!
Congratulations Reb. I am proud to have you as a colleague. I wonder if Glenn will send an all college congratulatory blast or if he will be disallowed, or to nervous to do it, since it represents good work from someone in IVC H&L?
I understand that Glenn called Reb personally and congratulated her - he also asked after her spouse!
Glenn not only sent out an all-campus congratulation memo - he also posted a blurb on the electronic marquee!
