IZZY WASSERSTEIN | GOAL $75
In 2017, I attended the Clarion West six-week workshop, and it changed my life in many wonderful ways: it gave me time and space to write, read, and engage with other writers; connected me to the community; and, most importantly, connected me to many people who are now my dear friends. I find it hard to express just how much Clarion West has meant to me, which is why I’m honored to raise funds for the important work Clarion West continues to do.

RASHIDA SMITH | GOAL $150
I attended the six week workshop back in 2005 and am now the program director. I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years, but at the core, Clarion West remains committed to providing world class writing education focused on speculative fiction writers — in person or online. I’m thrilled to be raising money to help support an organization I’m proud to be part of — while completing my novella, The Last Siren, this summer.
RAVEN OAK | GOAL $200
Clarion does great work to help writers succeed. Considering I really need to finish this book, participating in the write-a-thon and fundraising at the same time is a win-win! Find out more about me at ravenoak.net
REMY NAKAMURA | GOAL $1000
