Joining the Write-A-Thon is free! Raising funds to support Clarion West’s great work in the SFF creative community is optional, but if you’re inclined to donate, you can do so on that same webpage. 

SFWA members are offering live presentations, Q&As, workshops, downloadable presentations, and writing sprints and prompts all week. All take place online, with the exception of Tobias S. Buckell’s reading at the Town Hall Seattle, which members of the public can attend. Buckell is also this week’s Clarion West workshop instructor!
