This
year at SoonerCon (June 15-17) we have a two day writers workshop. Our
clinician this year is World Fantasy Award winner Peter Beagle ("The Last
Unicorn"; "The Handmaiden's Tale"). Participants submit an
advance manuscript, up to 5000 words, and get two sessions with Peter; a one on
one, and a group talk. Peter's business agent will also speak to that aspect of
the business during the group session. For folks breaking into writing, it's a
great opportunity to work with one of the finest in the business. Cost of the
workshop is $35; that does not include a convention membership. Both workshop
and convention memberships are available through the convention website, www.soonercon.com
If
someone's interested, they can write to me, or to on-site co-ordinator CyndiHagood (CC'd on this message). Membership is very limited (max 8 participants)
and will sell out, so I hope some of your students will take advantage of this
opportunity. Thanks so much, and see you at the con!
