IRS990/Desc0Six-Week Workshop: Clarion West's renowned Six-Week Workshop is an immersive six-week 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 2024 Clarion West accepted 18 writers from Thailand, Zimbabwe, Colombia, India, Nigeria, Canada, and various regions of Turtle Island/the USA to attend the virtual Six-Week Workshop with instructors Usman T. Malik, Brenda Peynado, Cadwell Turnbull, Sarah Pinsker, Ruoxi Chen, and Carmen Maria Machado. Writers spent six weeks writing one short story every week and critiquing 17 others, learning to improve and hone their story writing skills, and learning insights into the writing, publishing, and editing industry. In 2024, Clarion West held the workshop in person in Seattle's University District, committing to the higher cost of housing due to the loss of our previous rental availability. The organization recognizes that this high cost can not be transferred to the students and therefore committed to one year of absorbing the costs through our investment funds, with the hopes that lower-cost housing may be found in the future. Clarion West is dedicated to finding an in-person solution for the workshop, however will return to holding the workshop online to reduce costs while we seek an affordable housing solution.
