I would love it if people were motivated to donate whatever made them happy to Clarion West. I truly think of it as investing in the future of great speculative fiction. I have seen so many scarily talented people come out of the workshop and so I think it’s a no brainer to help support many years of fulfilling, enjoyable fiction for everyone.

I am not giving a specific fundraising goal, but I have decided to offer perks for people who want to donate specific amounts.

Perks:

I will be raffling off a complete series of my first three books — Falling Sky, Rising Tide, and Raining Fire — in print or ebook, personalized however you’d like. You get 1 entry for a $5 donation, and one additional entry for each $5 donation to one of my Clarion West 2008 Classmates:

For a $20 donation, you can read any of the revised stories before they’re published.

For a $50 donation (stolen from Caroline Yoachim),  I will write a story of indeterminate length (but probably short) based on 5-10 words that you supply as a prompt (I will only use some of them).

For $100 you will be tuckerized in an upcoming work, either a short story or novel.
