 Never before have I met such a fantastic, currently relevant and easy-to-talk-to group of movers and shakers  - Lou, Class of 2012    Have your manuscript critiqued by the publisher who publishes Mercedes Lackey, Joe Haldeman and Harry Turtledove amongst many others (Toni Weisskopf).    Learn about contracts from the agent who negotiates on behalf of Lois McMaster Bujold, Catherine Asaro and the estate of Robert A. Heinlein (Eleanor Wood).    And learn all the inside tricks by some of the best and most experienced writers in the genre today, including:    Mike Resnick, who has won more awards than anyone else (living or dead) in SF short fiction.     I strongly recommend the planned workshop next year to anyone who s a serious aspiring writer.  - From a student blog at http:  www.frankmorin.org 2012 12 sail-to-success-writing-workshop     Kevin J. Anderson with over 50 bestsellers and over 23 million copies of books in print. One of the most popular SF writers today.    Nancy Kress, multiple award winning author of the ground breaking  Beggars in Spain  (Hugo Nebula).    Eric Flint who created one of the most popular shared universes in the SF world (the 1632 universe) and who will give invaluable insights into how to write for this inclusive universe.    And as if this wasn t enough you get to do all this while on a cruise ship visiting the Bahamas in a classroom limited to only 22 students.     Participants and instructors all had positive things to say about the experience in the evaluations.  - From an article on the workshop published in the January 2013 issue of Locus Magazine.
