I think the February 19th QR is the first time we've had two returning authors (on the same panel) - super excited to see both CB and Jessica back with us! #SWSWQR

Awesome! Looking forward to it! Keep the snowball fight going by tossing the snowball to one of the other authors! #SWSWQR

Let's toss this snowball to one of the other authors! @laughingbriar.bsky.social What are you most looking forward to for next week's #SWSWQR?

That's a toughie! I'm excited that Loren Rhoads is back to read with us again, but I particularly looking forward to hearing what @kathleenpalm.bsky.social has cooked up - MG horror is always fun - and rare in our readings! Hey @laughingbriar.bsky.social, what about you? #SWSWQR

The world is hard right now. These (free) virtual events are a soft, quiet space to escape for an hour with friendly, supportive folks. #SWSWQR

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

I'd say "new year, who dis" but our QRs aren't new - in fact, we're entering our FIFTH YEAR of supporting women and nonbinary authors of spec fic! #SWSWQR

I stayed up to midnight (1 am actually!) mostly playing board games and eating snacks - the best way to ring in the new year!

This session is going to be AWESOME! The amazing Kate Pope will be calling forth the spirits and we'll have some awesome authors of the past come to life during this session.

There's still time to give! SW-SW is hoping to raise $500 this month, which is 50% of our operating budget.

If you love what we do and/or want to support elevating the voices of women and nonbinary writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, please drop a few bucks in the tip jar!

I can't participate in the Mad Libs because I start laughing so hard I can't get through reading the finished story! 😂😂😂😂 The Mad Libs are always hugely entertaining - I can't wait!

One of my all-time favorite things we do at SW-SW is visits by ghost authors to pay tribute to the women and nonbinary authors who paved the way for today's authors. Tonight we'll be visited by one of these spirtis! I can't wait! Event is free but registration is required. Hope to see you tonight!

I never knew how much fun it is to listen to a story in a group setting before the SW-SW QuickReads. There's something amazing about seeing/hearing how other folks react to the story and discussing the story in real time with others. Join us this Friday at 12 pm EDT for the next reading! #SWSWQR

Tonight at 7 pm EDT. Completely free but registration is required. www.eventbrite.com/e/first-frid... #SWSWQR

These readings are always a wild ride - a humorous story will be followed by one that rips your guts out and then followed by one that will give you nightmares and finishes on a charming middle grade fantasy chaser. You just never know! #SWSWQR

Sept 18, 2025, I'll read from "Always Haunted: Hallowe'en Poems" with a fine group of authors.
Sign up for our free event + give-aways!
