Excerpt

There's no writing from me here. Why is that? Because this year, my Write-a-thon is about other writers. Please, go read their excerpts:

Bio

I'm an author, screenwriter, and independent editor.

My novel Solitaire is a New York Times Notable novel and a finalist for the Nebula, Spectrum, and Endeavour Awards. My collection Dangerous Space includes an Astraea Prize winner, two Nebula finalist stories, three Tiptree Prize Honor stories, and a story adapted for Syfy. I have screenplays in various stages of development.

I'm co-owner and editor at Sterling Editing with my partner, novelist Nicola Griffith.

I attended the Clarion workshop in 1988. I have been a board member of Clarion West since 2010.

Publications

Solitaire: Print or DRM-free ebook from Small Beer Press. Print or Kindle from Amazon.com.

Dangerous Space: DRM-free ebook from Wizards Tower. Print or Kindle from Amazon.com.

Read three stories from Dangerous Space on my website:"Strings," "And Salome Danced," and "Dangerous Space."

Writing Goals

I have had enormous support through my Write-a-thon years. This year, you can help me achieve my goals by supporting the work of others.

It matters to writers to have support not just from friends and family, but from "friends of writing." It's exhilarating to find notice of sponsorship from a stranger. Powerfully motivating. It makes writers work harder and stretch farther. It lifts their hearts and holds their feet to the fire.

It can be hard for writers to ask for sponsorship. So I ask for them: won't you please support the work of a writer you don't know? Please support the Clarion West mission by helping a writer grow.

Pick a writer from the list above. I know these writers, their passion and commitment, and any of them will benefit from your support.

Or peruse the list of Write-a-thon writers and find someone whose work appeals to you. Surprise them.

Or click the general Donate button on the main Write-a-thon page and support multiple writers.

Thank you!

Fundraising Goals

When you support another writer this year, you're supporting me. It will help me achieve my goals for the summer to know that you care enough about my work to help another writer grow.

I hope that supporters of my work will contribute as generously to support others as you have to me.
