Writers from all over the world are joining the Clarion West Write-a-thon. And if you’re a writer who wants to reach for a goal this summer with the support of an amazing community, I hope you’ll join too.
The Write-a-thon is a six-week writing commitment where you set the goals. What do you want to accomplish this summer? Writers use the Write-a-thon to make sure they sit down with their work every day; finish a story or novel; write an article or polish a thesis; outline a screenplay.
You sign up at the Clarion west website. Then you ask readers, friends and family to support you in reaching your goal by donating to Clarion West. It’s a win for everyone: you, the others in the Write-a-thon community, and all the writers who sometime in the future will attend the workshop.
I’ve done several Write-a-thons, and it’s an exhilarating experience. It holds your feet to the fire, and it blows your mind.
And we need you. We have more than 200 writers signed up, from (at last count) 14 countries. We’re reaching too: our goal is 300 participating writers. We’re accepting signups until June 22. And then the writing begins!
Won’t you join us? Whether you’re an emerging writer or an established professional, your participation matters to us. We want you to be part of our community, and write something wonderful, and help us ensure that the Clarion West workshop continues to provide one of the best workshop experiences in the world for writers like you.
Please help me spread the word. Tell all the writers you know: the Write-a-thon is coming!
