Have you heard of the Borderlands Press Writing Boot camp? This conference/learning event has been going on for years, and I am one of 24 writers accepted to this year's program. If you're not familiar with the program, the full details can be found here. I'll join a couple dozen other writers in a weekend of feedback, instruction, and writing challenges, and I've heard very good things from past years' attendees. In addition to this year's guest instructor Chet Williamson, we'll be led by Ginjer Buchanan, Thomas F. Monteleone, F. Paul Wilson, and Douglas E. Winter. I'm looking forward to this Baltimore event next week, and I encourage you to keep your eyes on their event website for details on how to apply for next year's event.
