IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Clarion West's renowned Six-Week Workshop is an immersive six-week residential experience geared to help students build a foundation for professional careers as writers of speculative fiction. Participants must apply to attend and there are more applicants than there is space in the workshop. We especially encourage historically underrepresented writers to apply. In 2021 Clarion West accepted 15 writers from Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Canada, and around the country to attend the Six-Week Workshop with instructors Andy Duncan, Eileen Gunn, Tina Connolly, Caroline Yoachim, Nalo Hopkinson, Sheree Renee Thomas, and Ted Chiang. Clarion West hosted the workshop virtually for the first time. Writers spent six-weeks writing one short story every week and critiquing 14 others, learning to improve and hone their story writing skills, and learning insights into the writing, publishing, and editing industry.
