Taos Toolbox, an advanced science fiction writing workshop

Emily sez, "Taos Toolbox is a writer's workshop being run by Walter Jon Williams and Kelly Link in the summer of 2008. The workshop is an advanced workshop, aimed at grads of the Clarion/Odyssey science fiction/fantasy writing workshops to help them polish their skills and learn more about the business of writing. It'll take place in the beautiful Taos Ski Valley."

This is not a workshop for beginners. We won't teach you correct manuscript format or what an adverb is and why you shouldn't use one, because we'll assume that you already know. We want to concentrate on giving talented, burgeoning writers the information necessary to become professionals within the science fiction and fantasy field.

Though short fiction will be enthusiastically received, there will be an emphasis at Taos Toolbox on the craft of the novel, with attention given to such vital topics as plotting, pacing, and selling full-length works.

Link (Thanks, Emily!)

The Taos Ski Valley is one of the most beautiful places on earth, but bring your oxygen - at the summit it's almost 12,000 feet.

I hope this sticks around. There's precious little scifi related stuff going on in this gigantic state of mine.
