Broad Universe, a nonprofit international organization of women and men dedicated to celebrating and promoting the work of women writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror, will be hosting one of their Rapid Fire Readings at the last Pi-Con at noon on Saturday, August 1, 2015.
A Rapid Fire Reading is group reading at a convention (or other venue) where a writer reads a five-minute snippet of her work as part of a group of other Level 1 Broad Universe members. You get to hear a variety of different genres and styles and have a chance to win a giveaway. It's a lot of fun.
Each reader reads for 5 minutes. I'll be reading from a short story that will be published this fall.
Other readers participating are:
Lisa Hawkridge
Roberta Rogow (going first so she can make it to another panel due to lack of functioning cloning mechanism)
Angi Shearstone
Author Justine Graykin won't be joining us this time because she'll have her own reading on Sunday, at 11:00 AM in Ellsworth. She'll also be having a release party for Awake Chimera at 8:00 PM on Friday night, sponsored by Broad Universe. Other Broad Universe authors will have their new releases on display.
Look for the notices on the boards at Pi-Con. For more info on Justine, see her bio at http://pi-con.org/programming/programming-participants/
