Strong Women Strange Worlds First Friday QuickReads

6 authors – 8 minutes each

Join us for a tasting menu of science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories written by women and non-binary authors. We’ll feature 6 authors who will each have 8 minutes to tempt and tantalizing you with their reading. Our readings are like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates – you never know what you’ll get!
The event takes place live, via Zoom. Attend from anywhere!

There will be time for questions & answers at the end and the authors will be giving away something – a prize pack, free books, or something else!
