Alpha is designed for science fiction, fantasy, and horror writers aged 14 to 19. Attendance is limited to 20 participants, and the application deadline is 1 March. Tuition for the 10-day seminar is $950. This year's guest teacher-authors are Michael A. Arnzen, Christopher McKitterick, Tamora Pierce, and Timothy Zahn.
The workshop is coordinated and directed by author Diane Turnshek.
