For any of the writer-types out there, Tim Powers–one of our Writers of the Future workshop instructors and a contest judge–did a chat session last week on the Writers of the Future website.

He discusses not only what he feels makes a good WOTF submission (i.e.: a story in contention for the prize) but offers more general advice on character, plotting, and insights into his own writing process–all really valuable stuff that we gleaned from him during the workshop in Pasadena.

You can find the transcript here.
