A don’t-miss event for Seattle readers: Cory Doctorow in conversation

Don’t miss writer Cory Doctorow’s upcoming Seattle event!

Fabulous writer, teacher, and Boing Boing co-editor Cory Doctorow will teach the Clarion West Writers Workshop in late July. His work is terrific (Little Brother, Homeland, Pirate Cinema, the list goes on…), and I’m thrilled that the writers at Clarion West will benefit from his expertise and experience.

And so can you! Come see Cory in conversation with Geekwire columnist Frank Catalano on Tuesday, July 28 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $10 from Brown Paper Tickets.

Proceeds from the event support the ongoing operations of Clarion West, which has for more than 30 years helped emerging writers level up and kickstart their careers. When you spend this fascinating evening listening to Cory read, talk, and answer questions, you’re also supporting one of the best writing workshops on the planet.

Go buy a ticket and have some fun!

Enjoy your day.

Check out Reality Break

I met my friend Dave Slusher back in the early 90’s in Atlanta, when he interviewed Nicola for his radio show Reality Break — a very very cool program that was also nationally syndicated on NPR for a couple of years. Those of you who have been in sf for a while may well remember it, and may well have been interviewed by Dave.

And the good news is that Dave has recently revived Reality Break as a podcast that will feature a mix of archived shows and new interviews — including, in a month or so, an interview with me done about a year ago, after the release of Dangerous Space. I’ll post a link as soon as the show is available.

In the meantime, go listen to Dave’s interviews with Will Eisner and Cory Doctorow. Dave’s a great interviewer — he knows speculative fiction, comics, and internet culture inside out, reads thoughtfully and widely, asks good questions, makes a real conversation out of it. He’s in love with writing and writers, novels and comics, deep questions and far-flung ideas…

And P.S., I love Cory Doctorow’s notions about how the internet makes us all weirder!
