WHY I'M SUPPORTING CLARION WEST 

As a member of the class of 2012, I had the chance to meet 17 other fantastic writers. (Support our Team page!) and work on my own writing projects. 

But beyond that, I've been reading all kinds of writers and writing produced by Clarion West alumni--and sometimes watching their TV shows (I heart The Expanse). 

WRITE-A-THON GOAL AND SUPP ORT

My goal is to work on and finish an ambitious sci fi story about autonomous technologies in an era of anthropogenic climate change. If you support me at the $25 level, I'll happily Tuckerize you into the story I'm working on. Thanks for supporting writers and writing!
