The event will celebrate the annual winners in the L.

Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume xx.

Paul is a software engineer, a 2007 graduate of contest judge Orson Scott Card's Literary Boot Camp and a member of the Codex Writers. When not writing he can be found at the Harman Music Group repairing computers.

Along with eleven other winners from all walks of life from around the globe, Paul will be flown to Los Angeles and will be treated to a week-long workshop taught by the contest blue ribbon panel of judges including Tim Powers (On Stranger Tides), and Dave Wolverton (On My Way to Paradise), and others, followed by the gala awards ceremony.

The Contest was initiated by L. Ron Hubbard in 1984 shortly after returning to the field of science fiction with his bestseller Battlefield Earth, and to date the contest has launched the careers of 12 New York Times bestselling authors.
