ISBW Special #38: AISFP #58 – Nalo Hopkinson and Geoff Ryman
Clarion is currently underway in California, and Shaun Farrell of Adventures in SciFi Publishing is getting interviews with the instructors. (I’m not jealous). But Shaun did allow me to put these amazing interviews in my feed, because I know you’ll get a lot out of it.
From AISFP
In our last episode with the instructors of Clarion, Nalo Hopkinson and Geoff Ryman discuss how San Diego has changed the culture of Clarion, issues of race in SF, the birth of Mundane Science Fiction, and much more.
