The literary world can often feel isolated for writers and readers alike, but local community leaders like Jeff Brunings are taking the lead to highlight the special literary artists in northern California and Nevada. In this special episode of the “CC & JT Amateur Hour,” we explore the Truckee Literary Crawl, an inspiring event that fosters a vibrant literary community. Organized by Jeff and his team, this event not only showcases talented authors but also creates a supportive environment for those sharing their work for the first time.The Truckee Literary Crawl is an annual event held in Truckee, California, nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. The Crawl began last year and has quickly become a staple in the local literary scene. During this event, participants can explore various venues throughout Truckee, each hosting multiple authors who share their recently published works. This unique format allows attendees to enjoy readings from diverse genres, including memoirs, fiction, nonfiction, romance, and children’s literature.

Please check out this fantastic interview with Jeff and find time in your calendar to join the crawl on April 10 and 11, 2026.
