Summer Reading Series

Each week during the workshop, we present one of our six current instructors reading their best new work from recent books, unpublished stories, or novels-in-progress. The featured reader also answers questions about writing, teaching, editing, and other topics.

The 2008 Clarion West Summer Reading Series is over. Thanks so much for attending and helping us enjoy appearances by many of contemporary SF's best authors: Paul Park, Mary Rosenblum, Cory Doctorow, Connie Willis, Sheree R. Thomas, and Chuck Palahniuk.

This was the second year we were able to offer the readings for free, and the first year at our new location inside the University Book Store (with one reading taking place at UW's Kane Hall). Hundreds of you attended, and the series was a resounding success.

The 2008 Clarion West Summer Reading Series was presented by Clarion West and University Book Store. It was co-sponsored by King County 4Culture.

We’ll post details of the 2009 summer reading series on our website early next year. Till then, you may want to find out about this month's author events at the University Book Store; the readings they host are often of interest to the Clarion West community.
