Congrats and Welcome, Clarion 2010!
When I went to Clarion, I certainly hoped to improve my own writing, to take it beyond the not-quite-published plateau on which it was stuck.
I didn't expect that I would get so caught up in the work of other writers, that there was a whole community out there that I would get drawn into. I didn't expect Clarion to be a portal into a strange new place. It was as though the world twisted just a tiny bit, and everything was a little different.
I hope that the Clarion class of 2010, just announced, will find it as magical.
Congratulations to:
Gregory Bossert, Stacie Brown, John Chu, William Farrar, Erin Gonzales, Jessica Hilt, Jennifer Hsyu, Adam Israel, Dustin Monk, Tamsyn Muir, Laura Praytor, LaTisha Redding, Dallas Taylor, Leah Thomas, Karin Tidbeck, Tom Underberg, Kali Wallace, Kai Ashante Wilson.
The 2010 writers in residence are Delia Sherman, George R.R. Martin, Dale Bailey, Samuel R. Delany, Jeff VanderMeer, and Ann VanderMeer.
I'd be more jealous if half of them were not the instructors we had at Clarion 2007.
