Los Altos High School will feature appearances by approximately 30 established writers at its 23rd annual Writers Week Monday through Feb. 14.

Writers will visit all the English classes during the four-day period, and students will have an opportunity to interface with at least two writers. The classes review the writers’ works prior to their scheduled visit, and each author will discuss his or her work as well as the craft of writing.

“We are very privileged to have several (Wallace) Stegner Fellows and Knight Fellows from Stanford join us each year,” said organizer Arabella Napier.

The Composition Blues Band, whose members are professors at Stanford University, is scheduled to play in the school’s main quad.

This year’s slate of writers includes local journalists, children’s writers, poets and novelists. One visiting writer this year, Karen Sloan, is a 1994 graduate who honed her writing skills on the school’s newspaper, The Talon. After years in the business world, she followed a “tug on her heart” and went to Fuller Theological Seminary to become an ordained minister, then began a writing career on the side. Her first book, “Flirting with Monasticism: Finding God on Ancient Paths,” was published in 2006.

Los Altos High School is located at 201 Almond Ave.
