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.

...This year it's being held in Snowdonia from 24th to 31st August...

A bit of time travel involved...?

...and I DO fancy a "bracing trip to North Wales in October". Very much so. Trouble is I'm in North America which is quite a whack away from North Wales. I'm afraid that my return to North Wales will have to wait a little while....

Can't afford it. Would *love* North Wales in October.

I'll be at World Fantasy. If not for that, I'd have already signed up. And I'm so ready for 2010.

I don't think I'll ever make the entry level requirements, however much experience I shall acquire. I just don't get short story ideas.

I wish I could have made it. I was looking forward to it. But clashes occur and... Next year!

Okay, I'll have a think about this, and let you know for certain in the next day or so, but it looks like a jolly good idea to me. Good usage of some of the prize money I'd have to say. Not to mention the ideal chance to tackle Snowdonia on 2 wheels! (Yes, I do have heated handlebar grips!)
