Be part of Clarion West this summer without attending the workshop

This is Clarion West's eighth annual Write-a-thon and the second year Clarion in San Diego will run a Write-a-thon of their own in conjunction with their session. We're glad you've made the Write-a-thon such an important and longstanding part of the Clarion West experience and pleased that the idea of it is spreading!

Keep reading the rest of this page to learn more about the Clarion West Write-a-thon.

That's already started. I had to go to San Diego to get the idea of exactly what they want.

What was unclear? I'm sure the CW volunteers would like to know.

CW doesn't explain what a Write-a-thon is. Clarion San Diego tells you:

What is a write-a-thon, anyway? Think charity walk-a-thon. In a walk-a-thon, volunteers agree to walk as far as they can in return for pledges from sponsors who agree to donate to a charity, usually based on the number of miles the volunteer walks. Our Write-a-Thon works the same way, except instead of walking or running, our volunteers write with a goal in mind. In return, sponsors make donations to Clarion, sometimes based on number of words written, sometimes based on other goals, sometimes just to show support for the writer and Clarion.

Oh, huh. I thought that analogy was ours. I'll point this out to the person who's running the w-a-t.

We'll make it more clear next year, sorry about that. Thanks!
