Hydra House Books is happy to announce the release of the Pocket Workshop, a collection of twenty-eight essays by instructors of the Clarion West Writers Workshop, the six-week in-residence science fiction, fantasy, and horror workshop in Seattle, Washington.

Edited by Tod McCoy and M. Huw Evans, this is not a “how to” book of writing speculative fiction. Rather, this collection is intended to expand your knowledge of writing from the perspective of professional writers.

Essays range from scene setting, exposition, writing while blocked, feeding your creative engine, your approach a writing career, finding your process, thickening the plot, and using voice, among many others.

Through Monday, November 30, order a copy through Hydra House Books at a discounted price.

A fundraiser for Clarion West, the Pocket Workshop will be published on February 9, 2021.
