Write-a-thon

The Clarion West Write-a-thon approaches!

The Write-a-thon raises money for CW. It runs in concert with the six weeks of the workshop, and is one of our most important fundraising events. As the chair of CW, a former CW instructor, a Clarion graduate, a writer whose work I hope you enjoy, and the sweetie of a writer whose work I hope you enjoy who is also a Clarion graduate…. well, I really hope that you and every single person you know will choose to support me in this year’s Write-a-thon.

Here’s how it works:
• I have promised to write 12,000 words of a YA novel in six weeks. I have been thinking about this for a couple of years: now it’s time!
• I’ll make progress updates at the CW website and here on my blog.
• You sponsor me in this goal by visiting my Write-a-thon page and clicking on the PayPal button to make your donation.
• Spread the link to your friends and ask them to help.
• Are you a writer? Join us in the Write-a-thon and work for six weeks with an incredibly supportive and cheerful group of folks.

Any amount — any amount — is wonderful. I will be grateful for every single dollar that anyone chooses to give Clarion West. Every dollar helps us make this workshop a supportive, challenging, transformational and potentially life-changing experience for emerging writers of speculative fiction.

And besides — being a Write-a-thon supporter or writer brings you good karma, extra sunshine, and automatically makes you the coolest person in the room. I promise.

Thank you all for your support.
