level at Odyssey. Odyssey is one of
the most highly respected workshops for genre writers and the only program of its
kind run by an editor. Director Jeanne Cavelos is a best-selling author, former
senior editor at Bantam Doubleday Dell, and winner of the World Fantasy Award. Over
the workshop's six weeks, you'll receive detailed feedback and guidance from Jeanne,
and you'll profit from the insights and critiques of guest writers, agents, and
editors. Lectures cover the elements of fiction writing in depth. Workshopping sessions
are designed to maximize their helpfulness. You will not be coddled, and you will
not be attacked. You will learn how to improve your writing.
This summer's workshop runs from June 9 through July 18 at Saint Anselm College
in Manchester, NH. Guest lecturers are Craig Shaw Gardner, Barry B. Longyear, James
Maxey, Ellen Kushner, Delia Sherman, and agent Jenny Rappaport. The writer-in-residence
