Tonight, I’m in the Seattle area to read at the SFWA Pacific Northwest Reading Series with Nisi Shawl and fellow Nebula nominee Tina Connolly. It’s an evening of SF and frosty adult beverages. Will I see you there?
Event: SFWA Pacific Northwest Reading Series — Seattle (Kirkland)
Date: 23 Apr 2013 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM PDT
Location: Wilde Rover Irish Restaurant and Pub, 111 Central Way, Kirkland, WA 98033
SFWA Pacific Northwest Reading Series
The greater Pacific Northwest is home to Ursula K. Le Guin, Kay Kenyon, Jay Lake, Nancy Kress, Brent Weeks, Ted Chiang and Ramona Quimby. Although Ramona isn’t known for her Science Fiction and Fantasy escapades, the rest are, and will be celebrated as part of the Pacific Northwest Reading Series. These free quarterly events provide the Northwest Science Fiction and Fantasy community a chance to gather, network and enjoy readings from local authors.
Each event starts with notes from the host, a leading local author, who has selected two of their favorite writers to complete the evening’s theme. In turn, each is given time to read from their latest work, interpreting and explaining their concepts and vision. In addition, space is provided for networking and conversation.
Set in the festive atmosphere of the Wilde Rover Irish Pub & Restaurant in Kirkland, WA, events begin at 7:00 pm, and end by 8:30 pm.
The next event in the Seattle area (Kirkland, WA) will be held on Tuesday, April 23 and will be hosted by Mary Robinette Kowal, accompanied by Tina Connolly and Nisi Shawl.
