Writer's Workshop

by Ron Blanchett last modified 2006-08-29 21:19

...Attention New Writers! Penguicon will host a SF/F Writing Workshop with program content each day of the convention. This workshop is open to new or unpublished genre fiction writers. Penguicon is readying a very special kind of workshop - one that they hope will be a meaningful experience for all its participants.

...You Should Get In On This! Submissions for this workshop are now OPEN. Send a completed second draft of your short story or novel first chapter to [email protected] as an RTF attachment. PLEASE FOLLOW STANDARD MANUSCRIPT FORMAT, and make sure you include your name, address, and e-mail address. Manuscripts should be of a Speculative Fiction genre, total no longer than 5000 words, and it must be received by March 31st, 2005. For rapid processing, ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS ONLY will be accepted. Print copy of all submissions will be made available by the workshop at the convention. PRE-REGISTRATION for Penguicon 3.0 is not required but highly recommended. ...Don't Be Left Out! Attendance of the workshop will be limited, and if you attend the workshop opener and writing tech discussion Friday night, your manuscript will be the focus of discussion. ...But Wait! There's More! Additionally, it may be one of three selected by our online forum of judges, based on its merit and suitability for rewrite to a final draft. Beginning at the Saturday rewrite forum, these three selections will be the main focus of a revision session with the help of our panel of participating 'nifty' guests, both authors and publishing industry luminaries. ...How Can This Get Any Better? Your revised work will then be narrated, broadcast and recorded by the local voice talent of RADIO FREE FANDOM in a live Sunday afternoon presentation. RFF will make the broadcast available on the Penguicon website upon completion, and may produce the story or excerpt for a future audio compilation CD!.
