* Hugo Award Winner
* Locus Award Winner

For 27 years, Kate Wilhelm and her husband, Damon Knight, taught at the Clarion Writers' Workshop, an intensive and ambitious six-week writing program for novice writers, known to participants as "boot camp for writers."
Part memoir and part writing manual, Storyteller is Wilhelm's affectionate account of the history of the program and her years there with Damon as mentors and instructors.
She relates how Clarion began, explains why workshop participants fear red pencils* and rejoice at the sight of water guns, what she learned, and how she passed a love of the written word on to generations of writers.
Storyteller is a gift to all writers from this generous and acclaimed teacher. It includes a special section of writing exercises and advice.

* See page 121 for the origin of "The Red Line of Death."

"There are many books of writing instruction out there, but what sets Storyteller apart is the sense that Wilhelm really knows students and knows how to teach them to craft a professional story."
-- The Oregonian

"A useful, compact, and entertaining guide to writing that is neither bound to a particular genre or market."
-- Locus
