CLARION SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS' WORKSHOP
- CLARION SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS' WORKSHOP
This long-standing workshop enrols beginning writers who are interested in writing sf. It consists of intensive writing and discussion sessions under the direction of known sf writers, who have included Orson Scott CARD, Terry CARR, Samuel DELANY, Thomas M. DISCH, Harlan ELLISON, Karen Joy FOWLER, John KESSEL, Damon KNIGHT, Ursula K. LE GUIN, Tim POWERS, Lewis SHINER and Kate WILHELM. The first three sessions were held at Clarion State College in Pennsylvania in the summers of 1968-70. In 1971 "Clarion East" was held in Tulane University and "Clarion West" in Seattle. Clarion West soon folded, but was later re-established in Seattle (8 sessions to 1991). In 1972 Clarion East moved to Michigan State University, where it remains (as just Clarion; 24 sessions to 1991). Clarion has been more successful than many writers' workshops and has produced notable alumni, including Ed BRYANT, F.M. BUSBY, Octavia E. BUTLER, Gerard F. CONWAY, George Alec EFFINGER, Vonda N. MCINTYRE, Kim Stanley ROBINSON, Lucius SHEPARD and Lisa TUTTLE. The original director of Clarion was Robin Scott WILSON, who also edited the first three anthologies of students' and teachers' work: Clarion (anth 1971), \#II (anth 1972) and \#III (anth 1973). Clarion SF (anth 1977) was ed Kate Wilhelm; The Clarion Awards (anth 1984) ed Damon Knight covers the previous six years of Clarion.
