I got turned on to Strong Women-Strange Worlds a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. They organize virtual readings every first Friday and every third Thursday, foregrounding the work of women and other underrepresented gender identity writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I’ve been able to see readings from writers I’m familiar with–like Faye Snowden, V. Castro, Holley Cornetto, Angela Yuriko Smith, and R.S.A. Garcia, among others–as well as discover new-to-me writers, which his always exciting. And so I’m thrilled to be part of the July 7 reading series! Registration just went live, so I hope you’ll join me and the other excellent writers scheduled for that day. Maybe you’ll find a new writer to love, too!

You might notice that the reading is at noon EST–the fun thing about it is that these readings are meant to be work-safe and kid-safe. Admittedly, I had a hard time settling on what I could read. After all, very few of my short stories in the horror genre are safe for work or kids! Rest assured, even if I’m not flinging blood, guts, and swear words around the (virtual) room, I think you’ll still be entertained. At least I hope so!

See you there?
