Teaching Clarion West in 2010

Teaching Clarion West in 2010

: ellen_datlow; September 1st, 2009

I'll be back teaching Clarion West a year earlier than normal (I'm usually asked to teach every five years, but this time it's going to be only four) along with Michael Bishop, Maureen McHugh, Nnedi Okorafor, Graham Joyce, and Ian McDonald. I'll be there the fifth week.

I might pay your way to be able to do that, kiddo :-)

I'm sure you'd get plenty of volunteer tomato-in-face recipients locally if you advertised!

Heh. I'd use lots of little cherry tomatoes (don't know if that would work)

I've got a spud gun at home -- maybe some toy company makes cherry tomato guns for classroom use?

They'd clean up, they would.

There are some fab writers and I'm sure they'll be terrific teachers.

We just have to get Cat over to Seattle for the event :-)

We really enjoyed your talk to the Clarion class this year. I'm sure the next class is in for a fabulous time!

Say hello to Graham Joyce for me, and ask him whatever happened to his plan to be ordained as a minister (by me). Tell him I still have the vial of holy water I was planning to use, but it's juju may have worn off by now.

I've been in touch with him about his cat story that I've taken for Tails Wonder and Imagination so I can ask him now-rather than wait almost a year :-)
