Clarion Writers' Workshop - for Fantasy and Science Fiction

Applications for participation in the Clarion Writers' Workshop will open December 1, 2010, and close March 1, 2011. The 2011 writers in residence are Nina Kiriki Hoffman, John Scalzi, Elizabeth Bear, David Anthony Durham, John Kessel and Kij Johnson.

The Clarion Writers' Workshop was founded in 1968 by Robin Scott Wilson at Clarion State College in Pennsylvania, with such illustrious teachers as Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm in early attendance. Since 2006, the Clarion Writers Workshop has been based in the University of California, San Diego. The workshop is an annual event.

Clarion is a residential workshop, facilitating a small group of students, each of whom usually have some previous writing experience,  though publication is not essential. The main focus of the workshop is the short story, but aspects of novel writing are not excluded.
