Congratulations! We just found out that Jay Lake, our 2008 writers workshop instructor, is a finalist for the 2007 Sidewise Award for Best Long-Form Alternate History. Good luck to Jay (and all the other finalists). The winners will be announced in Denver at the 2008 World Science Fiction Convention. Attention Writers: FenCon's popular writers workshop hosted by Jay Lake has only a few spots remaining. We'll take your membership forms and payments online or by mail. This always sells out quickly and with Jay Lake as instructor this year will be no exception. FenCon memberships make excellent Mother's Day gifts.
