For those of you who've missed it, here are the topics covered in the odysseyworkshop during the month of June. If you want to post this digest in your own LJ, let me know and I'll send you a text document for you to cut and paste the digest into your own blog/LJ. Fair enough? Let's go!

I haven't pestering any individuals to apply this year like I did last, but because I never know who might be interested:

Odyssey is an intensive six-week workshop for writers of fantasy, science fiction, and horror held each summer at Saint Anselm College in Manchester,NH. Developing writers aged 17-65 apply from all over the world. Sixteen are ( Read more... )
