A Sense of Wonder

[grrm]

I've made my life in the worlds of science fiction and fantasy, and an awful lot of people helped me along the way. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. But if I may echo something that Robert A. Heinlein once said, you can never pay back the people who helped you when you were starting out... but you can pay forward, and give a hand

Have Spacesuit, Will Travel

I also loved Heinlein's Have Space Suit, Will Travel. It was not the first sci-fi novel I read, but I was very young--10 or 11, I think. Heinlein's book had a vast range and provoked wonder. I wanted to travel in space and meet aliens, but I have not yet had the chance.

Congratulations Lucy Smith.

The scholarship is such a great idea. GRRM, you continue to improve lives. Your writing has improved mine.

Yes I am a kiss ass. But George, I am addicted to your writings.

Dear George, how one can apply for this scholarship?

[grrm]

Contact Clarion. Of course, the scholarship for 2017 has already been awarded, so you'd be applying for 2018.

Thank you!

Very good idea. The notice on the bottom made me whine a little inside, however. Two of my favorite authors together on stage and I can't be there to see it. Maybe it will find its way online at some point. If not, I understand. Encouraging paid attendance to support Clarion is more important.
