The ever-talented, multi-ball juggling Leslie Howle  is bringing more SF goodness this Fall.

Directly from her mouth: “It’s September and I’m bringing a new Fantastic Fiction series to Richard Hugo House under the auspices of my NW MediaArts hat. I hope that some of you might be able to attend one of the workshops I’m offering beginning this month with Mary Rosenblum, who did a terrific job teaching the Clarion West workshop this summer. Returning this fall by popular demand are Charles de Lint and Connie Willis, who both taught Fantastic Fiction workshops in 2007.
Clarion West alumni will be discounted the same as Richard Hugo House members.
 
Mary will teach a workshop called “Bring the Reader to the Party, What Show Don’t tell Really Means” on Sunday September 21st from 10 – 4:30 and will read at Richard Hugo House at 7pm Monday night, September 22nd. 
 
Charles teaches “Heroes and Villains” October 26th and will read Monday night at 7pm.
 
Connie teaches “The Plot Thickens: The Art and Science of Plotting” on Sunday, November 16th, and reads at Richard Hugo House on Monday night at 7pm.
 
Please pass the word to anyone you know who might be interested in attending, and I hope to see some of you at the readings and workshops.  Feel free to email or call if you have any questions!   Here are the links to my website and the registration info at Richard Hugo House.

Warmly,

If I weren’t so butthurt broke, I’d take all three (or even one–that’s how butthurt broke I am), but you should (I will be at the readings though. All three.).

I studied with Mary and Connie this summer at Clarion West, and I don’t think I could possibly gush enough about them. Mary was super supportive and really detailed with her crits, while Connie was just a wellspring of amazingly great information and a million examples to illustrate her points. I loved every minute with them; they were two of the big reasons I keep saying I learned more in 6 weeks at Clarion West than I did in two years of grad school.

Go on. Register.
