5.0

This is a fantastic anthology showcasing some of the amazing, talented writers who attended the Clarion West Writers Workshop. In addition to the stories themselves which range from writers such as Nisi Shawl, Kij Johnson, Andy Duncan, and Daniel Abraham--the notes from the instructors about the relationships they build with students in the workshop, and how these amazing writers got their start, is inspiring and eye-opening. The more I get to know about Clarion West, the more impressed I become with the alchemy it creates for writers and readers. I am jealous and in awe of the students who have gone through the intense, bonding experience of its 6-week workshop.
