Milford SF Writers' Conference Weeks, 2014

You are cordially invited...
Milford is the UK-based event, founded by James Blish and now in its 41st year. It's for published SF writers to workshop their works-in-progress (short stories or novels) with other writers in the tranquil surroundings of beautiful Snowdonia, North Wales. It's a peer-to-peer event with no leaders or teachers enabling a creative exchange of information and ideas.

MILFORD 2013, Saturday 14th to Saturday 21st September 2013 is now fully booked, however it booked up so early and so fast that you can already book for 2014. (Early booking advised.)

Because Worldcon is in London in 2014 we are running an additional Milford week (subject to take-up of a minimum of nine bookings).

So you have a choice of dates:

Week 1 - 23rd to 30th August 2014
Week 2 - 13th to 20th September 2014
The venue for both is the lovely: Trigonos Centre, in Snowdonia

We are reserving half the places on the August 2014 week for overseas attendees until August 2013 or until fully subscribed, whichever is first. We hope that writers attending Worldcon (14th - 18th August http://www.loncon3.org/) from outside the UK will take the opportunity to attend Milford on the same plane ticket.

The total price for 2014 is £605 inclusive of full board for seven nights. A deposit of £115 is required to secure your booking and the balance of £490 is payable to Trigonos upon attending (by cash or cheque - no cards). Apart from a small Milford admin fee of £10, this sum represents your booking with Trigonos for accommodation.

Go to the Milford website to download and print the booking form for the 2014 weeks as a Word document; as a text file or as a pdf. You can state your date preference on the form.

Oh GOD that pic makes my teeth ache with longng. A little bit of hiraeth, maybe, although i've spent only a very little time in Wales. But unless someone comes out of the woodwork to sponsor my trip, not on the cards, I'm afraid...

But what a beautiful place. WHAT a beautiful place.

Pity, that's actually the lake at Trgonos, the view we see each morning.

PS Would you mind boosting the signal on your blog? We need to get the word out to as many North American writer-types as possible.
