At Wiscon last year, Lynne M. Thomas approached me and asked if I’d be interested in having my work added to the Northern Illinois University SF Archives. In particular, she was interested in drafts and other things exposing the creative process. I was deep, deep in the throes of Impostor Syndrome and couldn’t figure out why anyone would be interested in me.
Lynne is persistent.
So, I’m pleased to announce that I have officially joined NIU SF Archives.
We’re starting with electronic files of works in progress and I’ll be dropping off a whole ream of hard-copy juvenalia and early drafts soon.
Heres’ why: We all knew you were a talented kick-butt writer, so we were happy to congratulate you. But a massive hand! Made of foam! [insert simian grunt] It just brings something out in you.
That so cool! I went to school there — twice. I worked in the library for two years, but in library security (yes, I know).
Congrats on that!
