For the Writers Out There (in/near Seattle anyway)

[jpskewedthrone]

As some of you know (but maybe not all of you), Norwescon, the SF&F convention that I go to on Easter weekend every spring, also runs a writers workshop during the convention. Basically, you send in a piece of writing and you get some professional criticism of the piece by (typically) three or four published professionals while you're there at the con. Here's the link if you're interested. I've done this the last two years and it's very professionally run, with lots of good feedback from the pros during your critique session. I'd certainly recommend it. I also recommend the convention itself, which is not only good for learning some new writing skills and meeting fellow writers, but is also just great fun. You can follow the link to learn about the convention as well.

NOTE: The deadline for submission of material for the writing workshop is in December, which is why I'm posting this now.

I plan to enter my last finished WIP. It needs editing before I do though. :D

Oh, that looks nifty!

(I am always frustrated that Norwescon and Sakuracon are always on the same weekend. Choices, choices....)

I did this at Baycon two years ago, submitting the first three chapters of TTJ: Shipbuilder. It was an awesome experience. I'll probably submit something to Baycon this year, too. I'm not sure if I can attend Norwescon, but I'd sure like to!

I live in Seattle and I am very interested.

Yeah, a friend ran into that last year: Sakuracon or Norwescon? He hit them both on separate days.

Good luck with your submission!

Well then check it out. And I hope to see you at Norwescon!
