Westercon Writers Workshop -- Update

We are pleased to announce that all manuscripts and workshop schedules for Westercon 65 Workshop participants have been distributed.  Thanks much to participants and volunteers who've already confirmed receipt of their materials.  If you submitted to or volunteered for the workshop and have NOT received your manuscript(s) and/or workshop schedule, please contact us at fairwoodwriters@gmail.com.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of space, we will not be hosting our regular social at Westercon.

If you missed this workshop and would like to be on our mailing list to be notified when we send out guidelines for our annual workshop at Norwescon, please contact us.  And remember, it's never too early to finish a manuscript for the workshop!  So if you don't have one yet, why not sit down and work on something right now...?

Announcing... the Writers' Workshop at Westercon 65

We're pleased to announce that we will be running the Writers' Workshop at Westercon 65 in Seatac from July 5-8, 2012.

The guidelines have not yet been posted to the Westercon website (but we hear they'll be up soon).  Until then, you can find them right here.

Because we have less lead time to oraganize and a different roster of attending pros, we will be accepting fewer manuscripts for this workshop.  We will accept only one submission per writer, and manuscripts should not be over 8,000 words.  All short stories will be scheduled for round robin sessions, and all novel excerpts for individual sessions. 

The deadline for the Westercon 65 Writers' Workshop is April 29, 2012.
