Proposals for programming for the first Tahoe Literary Festival are being accepted until July 29. Writers, poets, publishers, community groups or anyone with a passion for the written or spoken word is invited to submit a proposal.
The theme for the festival, taking place in Tahoe City on Oct. 11 and 12, is “Spirit of Place.” Award-winning author, artist and naturalist Obi Kaufman will headline the Festival on Oct. 12. Other festival events will include a literary open mic, workings and panels, a free children’s event with Dr. Charles Goldman and a singer-songwriter showcase. The festival is being produced by Tahoe Guide and The Seasoned Sage. Tickets will go on sale later this summer.
To submit a proposal, email your name, contact information and bio of 150 words or less to priya@tahoelitfest.com, along with a succinct (one page or less) outline of your proposal, including theme, content, brief participant bios and how the event will contribute to the festival and the theme.
