This summer I’ll be rekindling my sluggish imagination by teaching and serving as the Amazon Writer in Residence at “Shared Worlds, the premier science-fiction and fantasy teen writing camp in North America. Amazon has awarded Shared Worlds an $18,000 grant for the 2016 camp, for the purpose of establishing an Amazon writer-in-residence and providing need- and talent-based scholarships for students from all over the world.” In addition to co-founder and NYT Bestselling author Jeff VanderMeer, this year’s amazing lineup includes Nnedi Okorafor, Tobias Buckell, Nathan Ballingrud, Leah Thomas, and Terra Elan McVoy, along editor extraordinaire Ann VanderMeer, gaming expert Will Hindmarch, and founder Jeremy L C Jones.
