Walter Jon Williams informs me that he is now taking applications for the 2020 version of the Taos Toolbox, his “graduate level” workshop for aspiring writers of science fiction and fantasy.   This year’s gathering will be June 7-20… not actually in Taos, confusingly, but nearby in Angel Fire, in the Land of Enchantment.  Walter Jon and Nancy Kress will be the instructors, once again, and I’ll show up myself one day for a guest lecture and a meal.   You can find all the information here:  http://www.taostoolbox.com/

This year, once again, I will be sponsoring the TERRAN PRIZE, a full scholarship for a promising writer from a non-English-speaking country.   The winner will need to write in English, however…but we’re all Terrans here, and we all share this planet, and a love of imaginative fiction.   The scholarship covers tuition, fees, and lodging, but not travel or meals.  Applications can be made through the link above.
