In a January 30 article, Boston magazine listed Boskone in its Culture Calendar as one of its seven "must-see arts and entertainment events in February
2014."
It's not surprising. After all, Boskone has been going now for 51 years. This year's lineup includes Guest of Honor Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant, Official Artist David Palumbo, Special Guest Ginjer Buchanan, Featured Filker Bill Roper, Hal Clement Science Speaker Bill Higgins, and NESFA Press Guest Jane Yolen.
The New England Chapter of
Broad Universe, an international non-profit organization dedicated
to promoting, encouraging, honoring, and celebrating women writers and
editors in science fiction, fantasy, horror and other speculative
genres, will have a table in the Dealers' Room and will present a Rapid-Fire reading.
What's a Rapid-Fire Reading? "The Rapid Fire Reading (RFR) is one of the oldest events Broad Universe
holds. Usually at science fiction, fantasy, and horror conventions but
branching out to other venues, too, the RFR showcases snippets of
published and in-progress work from members for the audience to enjoy." Source: Broad Universe web page
The RFR will be on Saturday, February 15, at 6 pm in Burroughs. Readers include Sandra Barret, Terri Bruce, Anna Erishkigal, Justine Graykin, Morven Westfield, Phoebe Wray, Jill Shultz, and Roberta Rogow.
Other members who will be attending, some presenting on panels, include
