• OSC urges writers to look at this LA Times interview with mystery writer Robert Crais
Says OSC: "Crais, one of my favorite writers, has come quite independently to many of the same conclusions I've reached - and which I've taught in my writing workshops for years. It's nice to have an independent source for the ideas! Besides, Crais is an outstanding writer who deserves to be listened to for his own sake."

Douglas Cohen

From Bootcamp 2001

Andy Cox at Interzone has accepted Douglas Cohen's fantasy novelette, "Feelings of the Flesh" for publication. Doug's story was published in the Sep-Oct 2007 issue

Douglas Writes to OSC: "I thought you might be interested to know I was hired today by Shawna McCarthy to be the new slush reader for Realms of Fantasy Magazine! As of now it's on a trial basis, but Shawna and I hit it off quite nicely, so I think things should work out. I'm really excited about this, because the position will provide me experience and connections. Wish me luck & I hope all is going well with you."
