@clarionucsd.bsky.social in 2012. I had just finished undergrad and spent the previous four years getting dragged for writing spec fic. I was exhausted, embarrassed to write what I loved, and didn't have a writing community. I would have quit writing within the year.

Today's @clarionucsd.bsky.social newsletter reminds me if I'd attended a year earlier I'd have critiqued with Pat Murphy, and a year later with Mario Milosevic and Lucius Shepard. Ah, serendipity! It also reminds me to once again remind you about my new collection. pspublishing.co.uk/101-things-t...

1978
Pat Murphy
The Adventures of Mary Darling (Tachyon) appeared on the Locus 2025 Recommended Reading List of Fantasy Novels.

1979
Scott Edelman
101 Things to Do Before You’re Downloaded was published by PS Publishing UK/Drugstore Indian Press, November 2025.

1980
Mario Milosevic
“Stories” (Asimov’s, 3-4/24) won 4th Place The Asimov’s Readers’ Award for Best Poem.

Lucius Shepard
Crows and Silences (Subterranean) appeared on the Locus 2025 Recommended Reading List of Collections.

I attended @clarionucsd.bsky.social with the support of a few organizations. Did you know the likelihood of acceptance to an MFA program is higher than acceptance to Clarion.

As everyone who has attended knows, Clarion is a transformative, once-in-a-lifetime experience. It can also be a prohibitively expensive one for some. If you're able, maybe you could help out aegor, one of our 2026 attendees, on their journey!
