You've heard of fifty or sixty percent of their graduates (including Doctorow). The app period for 2009 is already closed, though. http://clarion.ucsd.edu/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarion_workshop Anon @ 1:

My wife runs a non-profit called Writopia Lab, and they do writing workshops for young writers (8 to 18) in NYC, DC, and LA. Not everyone works on SciFi (there's a lot of memoir, general fiction, and poetry, too), but here's a SciFi story one Writopia kid wrote: http://writopialab.blogspot.com/2008/03/featured-story-of-day.html More info, including details of the sliding-scale fee structure, at http://www.writopialab.org.

I would love to attend something similar, especially given that I'm a free-traveling and free-willed adult, but there seems to be no market. Are there any programs like this for people of all ages?
