Clarion is a six-week workshop for new and aspiring science fiction and fantasy writers founded by Robin Scott Wilson at Clarion State College in Pennsylvania. Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm were among the first teachers at the Workshop. The first was held in 1968.
Originally an outgrowth of Knight and Wilhelm's Milford Writers' Conference, held at their home in Milford, Pennsylvania, USA, the workshop is now held every summer at Michigan State University. Since the creation of other workshops bearing the Clarion name, such as Clarion West, the workshop held at Michigan State University is sometimes referred to as Clarion East.
Each week of the Workshop is taught by a different professional writer or editor.
