Summer camp for grownups - Odyssey Workshop 2009

What could be cooler than this?*

Odyssey Fantasy Writing Workshop 2009
Odyssey is one of the most highly respected workshops for writers of fantasy, science fiction, and horror writers. Top authors, editors, and agents serve as guest lecturers, and fifty-three percent of graduates go on to be published. The workshop, held annually on the campus of Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH, combines an intensive learning and writing experience with in-depth feedback on students' manuscripts. Odyssey is for developing writers whose work is approaching publication quality and for published writers who want to improve their work. Director Jeanne Cavelos is a former senior editor at Bantam Doubleday Dell and winner of the World Fantasy Award.

This summer's workshop runs from June 8 through July 17. Guest lecturers are bestselling author Jeffrey A. Carver; award-winning authors Melissa Scott, Patricia Bray, and Jack Ketchum; and Ace/Roc Editor-in-Chief Ginjer Buchanan. The writer-in-residence is New York Times bestselling author Carrie Vaughn. The application deadline is April 8. For more information, visit www.odysseyworkshop.org or call (603) 673-6234.

Damn, I don't write and I would go just for the lineup.

Congrads - what a group to be with!

Thanks! I only wish I could go for the full six weeks, but there's that pesky day job to contend with...

I'm a 2006 Odyssey grad and highly recommend it!

Good to know! I've heard great things about it.

I would love to do that. Sadly, even my relatively generous vacation allowance does not stretch to 6 weeks.

Enjoy!

And it might be a bit hard to smuggle your family into that dorm room :-)

Since a very good friend lives in Manchester, we may have to come visit. What week are you on?

Cool! I'll be there Thursday June 25th and Friday June 26th. I believe that it's a Thursday evening social with the students, following by my lecture and meetings with students on Friday.

This is like a total daydream. *wistful* Some year. When I'm like... retired.
