The Clarion Writers’ Workshop is a sort of bootcamp for science fiction and fantasy writers. You write something like six stories in six weeks, critique your fellow students’ stories for several hours every day, and get a new instructor every week who combines lectures, workshops and one-on-one meetings. It’s all held on UC San Diego’s beautiful La Jolla campus.
The workshop has is open for applications, and this year’s instructors are Jeffrey Ford, Marjorie Liu, Ted Chiang, Walter Jon Williams, Holly Black and Cassandra Clare.
