[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 222585, member: 1016"] What do people think of the Clarion, West Clarion and SF Odyssey genre workshops? I'll edit this later to put in their urls but basicly the three workshops offer a 6-week course where you learn to write from other authors. Some commonalities among the workshops. 1. You have to submit story samples to prove you are of a certain caliber before you are invited to join. Samples are due either April 1 or April 15. The samples vary for each school. 2. Intensive training, this is not a correspondence school. You have to take the classes on campus and you bascily talk, listen and do writing every day and night for those 6-weeks. 3. The cost of the workshops, dorm rooms included, is more than $1,500, with one work study position available. 4. The class allows for networking (which is great for those of us who can't make WorldCon). 5. There is a featured writer every year that they make a big to do about. Harlen Ellsion has been the featured writer all three workshops. 6. Rumors abound that some editors love to get work from the graduates and other immediately roundfile the submissions. Its like you've gone from being lost in the crowd to declaring your alliegence in a politcal race. I am curious what people have heard or experienced at these schools. I got accepted to one, but my job and checkbook prevented me from going this year. [/QUOTE]
