The excitement has begun. It’s the Writers & Illustrators of the Future annual week of workshops and the gala awards event. The big show will be on Friday, April 5 at the Taglyan Complex. See it live at www.WritersoftheFuture.com.
This year’s workshops are being held at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. The writer winners arrived today and met up for the first time. Christopher Baker and David Cleden came in to Hollywood from 30 miles south of London. John Haas arrived from Ottawa. The other nine US-based winners few in from as far as Washington, DC (Andrew Dykstal) and as close as Reseda, which is only 14 miles away (Preston Dennett).
The writers arrived and checked into the hotel. And as a lead up to the official start of the writer workshop, they were interviewed for a series of WotF podcasts and videos all of which will be posted on Facebook and Youtube to promote themselves, their stories, the Contest and the latest Writers of the Future anthology to be released on Friday (and nationwide on April 9).
The writers workshop then officially kicked off when all the winners gathered with workshop instructors: David Farland, Tim Powers and Orson Scott Card.
