Got the call today that I’ve been accepted to Clarion West for the class of 2009. I’m incredibly pleased by this. I’d actually applied to both Clarion and Clarion West, but CW was a clear favourite because it’s got awesome instructors, a vibrant writing community in Seattle, and is a short three hour drive across the border. I’m going to arrange for a PACE pass so that I can skip the line-ups there and back.
I’ll be posting my Clarion West Application Essay, so you guys can see what got me in (of course, the fact that the story I submitted with my entry placed 1st in Writers of the Future couldn’t have hurt 
).

Congratulations, Jordan! Was there ever a doubt?
Score! Big congrats!
Thanks guys! It’ll cost me upwards of 10K to go (with lost salary), but I hear it’s a career changer… hopefully it’s money that will pay off later in terms of a book contract!
Cool news, Jordan. Congrats on the acceptance.
Thanks Jason! I really hope I’m looking forward to meeting all my classmates, as well as the awesome instructors!
Congrats Jordan! I’ve recently met some Clarion West grads as part of a writing group and the benefit to me so far outweighs the return I give to them it feels like thievery. You’ll definitely get a lot out of it.
Thanks Jeff! My every day writing group (Spec 24) makes me feel the same way sometimes, but it’ll be absolutely wonderful to live the life of a writer for six weeks!
Congratulations, Jordan!!!
If anyone else is confused on the CW forum, we can point them here. That said, I think I took care of it tonight.

Congrats, Jordan–that is fantastic news!
Thanks Jamie! That darn well SHOULD have cleared it up.
Thanks for the congrats, Nick! I’m totally excited about it!
