\"TheAs those of you who read this blog regularly know, I’m the chairperson of Capclave 2010<\/a>. Capclave is the Washington Science Fiction Association’s annual convention, held this year in Rockville, Maryland. Our guests of honor this year are Connie Willis, Ann VanderMeer, and Jeff VanderMeer. There will also be many other guests — writers, editors, publishers, and of course fans of speculative fiction in all its various designations.<\/p>\n

One of the things that we’re very proud of this year is the number and quality of the workshops we’ll be offering to participants. If you are registered to attend Capclave<\/a>, there is no extra charge for being in a workshop, but space is limited and some have requirements (homework that’s due at the time of the workshop or before you arrive in the case of the VanderMeer workshop). <\/p>\n

If you are already a member of Capclave and wish to sign up for one or more of these workshops, send email to workshops at capclave dot org (you know how to parse that email address I’m sure). If you haven’t signed up for the convention yet, check out the website and sign up then send your email asking listing the workshop you wish to be in.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full list of workshops:<\/p>\n

Workshops at Capclave:
\nCapclave 2010 is pleased to once again host a number of interesting workshops. Space is still available. If you are interested, send an e-mail to our workshop coordinator.<\/p>\n

Online Content Workshop<\/strong>
\n Putting your comics, music, video, and fiction online is easy. Making it pay is harder, but it can be done. Join webcomic creator and comedy musician Rob Balder as he talks about making a living with the free content model. Get practical advice (feel free to bring a laptop\/tablet and samples of your stuff) and work out a specific strategy for growing and monetizing an audience around your work. Two hour workshop. \t <\/p>\n

Plotting Workshop<\/strong>
\nWhat makes a story a story? How do you construct a viable plot from a bare (naked) idea? We’ll start at the beginning, and by the end, you should have everything you need to know to plot your story. Allen Wold will lead this 2 hour session. \t <\/p>\n

Reviewer’s workshop<\/strong>
\n A good reviewer does more then read free books and say “I like that”. Peter Heck, a regular reviewer for Asimov’s Science Fiction will demonstrate the hallmarks of a good review and how to create one. Bring a at least 10 copies of a review you’ve written and are proud of.\t <\/p>\n

Wordsmith’s Workshop<\/strong>
\nDanny Birt will guide you through looking at writing from the perspective of the single word, and then work up from there, making sure that every word counts. This 1.5 hour workshop is good for beginners to professionals and is limited to 16 participants. \t <\/p>\n

Writer’s Workshop<\/strong>
\nAllen Wold will lead a panel of authors in a hands on workshop. Learn many skills as you work on a short story. Session will be for 2 hours on Sat. and for those interested, a 1 hour follow-up on Sunday. Number of Participants is limited to 12. \t <\/p>\n

Writer’s Workshop<\/strong>
\nJeff and Ann VanderMeer will critique short stories of 12 participants. Each participant must write and submit a story of no more than 7500 words at least 2 months before Capclave (by August 22nd) to the workshop email address (workshops at capclave dot org). The story will be shared with the VanderMeers and the other participants. This will be a 2 hour workshop. <\/p>\n

Hope your as excited about these opportunities to learn as we are to be able to offer them to our convention attendees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
