Calling all SF writers

[jacey]

Most of you already know about Milford, a week for published SF writers to get together and workshop short stories and novel excerpts in a small, intensive peer to peer gathering. This year it's being held in Snowdonia from 24th to 31st October in our venue of recent years Trigonos - a lovely eco-friendly and comfortable venue within sight of Snowdon itself committed to home grown (organic) food

I've been attending various Milfords (off and on) since 1998 and am on the organising committee. When the bookings first started earlier in the year we filled the places quite quickly, but we've had a surprisingly high dropout rate and as of the present moment we have four available places, one of them only notified to us this week. We obviously need to fill these if at all possible as we block book a specific number of rooms at Triginos.

So please pass the word around, or if you fancy a bracing trip to North Wales in October with a bunch of other SF writerly types please get in touch with us via the Milford web site or drop a note in the comments.

Please note that the minimum requirement for coming to Milford is one professionally published story - so relative beginners are welcome, but many of the writers who attend are multi-published novelists.

Oh, bugger! I thought you were coming! Aargh. I think that makes five spaces!

I emailed Liz last week: I should have mailed you also. Apologies.

The thing is - it's the weight of late cancellations that are going to be a problem. It would have been easier to 'sell' the spaces earlier in the summer. Any chance of you changing your mind? Apart from anything else, we'll miss you.

Unfortunately not. It's a date thing -- that week turns out to clash with World Fantasy, and I have to go to the latter, and I really can't manage both either timewise or financially. Bah.
