I wanted to alert people that a wonderful writer’s workshop — The Taos Tool Box — is now accepting applications.  You can find the information here.  This year the class will be taught by Walter Jon Williams and Nancy Kress with guest lectures by Carrie Vaughn.  It doesn’t get much better than this.

The way Clarion is focused on short stories,  The Tool Box is focused on writing novels.  It’s rather like a master class in music.

If this line up of teachers still hasn’t convinced you then let me also plug Taos.  The workshop is held up at the ski basin, great hiking, wonderful views and only a short drive down to the town of Taos with art galleries, the world famous Taos pueblo, great restaurants, etc. etc.
