Diane sez, "Alpha, the SF/F/H Workshop for Young Writers, is a one-of-a-kind residency workshop for teens who write genre fiction. The application deadline is coming soon–at the end of March. The best twenty writers (14 to 19 years of age) who submit original science fiction, fantasy or horror stories will be accepted. For ten days in July, the students will stay at the University of Pittsburgh branch campus in Greensburg, PA. They'll learn how to write from authors Timothy Zahn, Tamora Pierce, Dora Goss, Wen Spencer and others. This is Alpha's fifth year. Former Alpha students have sold stories to prominent
publications including Boys' Life, Realms of Fantasy, Writers of The
Future, Fantasy Magazine, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, Fantastic
Stories, Corpse Blossoms, Aberrant Dreams, and Fantastical Visions."
(Thanks, Diane!)
