Alpha Auction Ends Tonight!

The first ever online auction to support the Alpha SF/F/H Workshop for Young Writers Auction ends TONIGHT! Last chance to bid on signed books by me, Theodora Goss, Cory Doctorow, Sara Rees Brennan, GRRM and more, as well as invaluable story critiques, a Cthulu hat, and even lunch with Tamora Pierce -- all donated by authors who share my love of this great place for kids from all over the country - indeed, from all over the world - to be smart geeks together in a wildly supportive environment, to devote 10 days to just talking about writing and writing . . . and to turn into The Competition.

I taught there last year, and fell in love.

I know some of you have gone there -- feel free to leave a Testimonial.

And if you know someone ages 14-19 . . . their Application Period is now open.  There is also an online blog with writing tips & discussion.

Here are some Alphans' own descriptions of what the workshop has meant to them, and why they should have your support.
