This week I will be in NYC to do a KGB reading, and in Pittsburgh for the Nebula Awards! Here’s where you can find me:
NEW YORK:
Wednesday, May 16th – 7:00pm
KGB Bar, 85 East 4th Street
(just off 2nd Ave, upstairs.)
As part of the Fantastic Fiction at KGB series, I am reading with the fabulous Tina Connolly! I will be reading from my Hugo, Locus, and Nebula finalist story Carnival Nine. More details about the reading here.
PITTSBURGH:
After my New York trip, I am heading to Pittsburgh. Here is my schedule for the Nebula Awards Weekend. All of the events below take place at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center (112 Washington Place, Pittsburgh, PA 15219). Registration at the convention is required for most of the events, but the autographing session on Sunday is free and open to the public!
Friday, May 18th
2pm, Marquis B – Short Fiction Contracts Workshop.
A workshop covering the basics of publishing contracts for short fiction. The workshop would be broken up into three sections: Understanding contract terms, managing rights, and contract negotiation. (Keep your film rights)
7:30pm, Grand Ballroom – Nebula Nominee Presentation
Here is your chance to meet and congratulate this year’s Nebula Nominees before the mass autographing. As a way to celebrate the nominees’ work, we have partnered with SAG/AFTRA to have two professional audiobook narrators who will read excerpts from the nominated work.
Saturday, May 19th
6pm-10pm Grand Ballroom – Nebula Reception / Nebula Banquet / Nebula Awards
Sunday, May 20th
10am, Marquis A – Short Story Collections Panel
Single-author short story collections used to be the way authors made their living, but these days they seem to be more of a labor of love. How do you put a collection together and find a home for it?
1pm – 3pm, Grand Ballroom – Mass Autographing
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! If you’re in the Pittsburgh area and you want to come and meet a bunch of fantastic science fiction authors, drop by the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center on Sunday afternoon and come to the mass autographing session.
