Chelsey Clammer has been selected to receive the Owl of Minerva Award for 2014.
Chelsey Clammer is currently enrolled in the Rainier Writing Workshop MFA program. She is organizing a women’s writing retreat that will take place in a cabin in the middle of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. There, two established female authors and two chosen female applicants will share the cabin with each other for a week in order to workshop each other’s work, have oodles of time to write, and be able to discuss craft techniques.
A room of one’s own is a good way to start writing, but a cabin full of inspiring and encouraging women writers is even better.

Congratulations Chelsey! It sounds like a great project and very helpful for both newbie writers and ‘old-timers’ in the field.
I’m so thrilled for Chelsey! She is the perfect recipient of this award – paying it forward and keeping the writerly love alive. Chelsey, we couldn’t be more proud to help you keep doing what you’re doing!
