A few things going on around the Pickledverse which have come about on the heels of my well received GoH speech at Au Contraire.
First, I was invited to blog at the New Zealand Book Council website Booknotes Unbound. I chose "Ten Fab Modern Feminist Speculative Fiction Books", featuring Tina Makareti, Jim C. Hines, N.K. Jemisin, Catherynne M. Valente, Lethe Press' "Beyond Binary, Nnedi Okorafor, Karen Healey, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Ann Leckie, and AK Press' "Octavia's Brood".
Second, while I was too late to be integrated into any panels at Word Christchurch, I've been invited to do a version of my speech at the fringe Pecha Kucha night on Thursday August 26. Tickets are $16. I'm also looking forward to attending events at Word. It's a superb programme the team have put together for this year.
Third, a segment of the Gender Diversity and Sexuality panel I was part of at Au Contraire has been podcast through Access Radio Wellington. It is available on the second half of the June 19 Writer's Island 'cast.
Thanks to Steph Soper at NZ Book Council, Rachel King at Word Christchurch, and Netta Egoz at Pecha Kucha Christchurch for your support.
