The SFWA Independent Authors Committee invites you to join us at our virtual meetup. This month’s topic: Promotion costs time and money. What are the most effective ways to promote your work? Bring your experiences and let’s share!
Host: Gwynne Garfinkle
Featured Poet: Angela Liu
The SFWA Poetry Committee hosts a quarterly open mic for our poets. This is an unrecorded meetup where we share our work with each other. You are welcome to read works in progress or published work in the privacy of Zoom. (You are also welcome to just listen!) At the half hour, our feature will be introduced and read for twenty minutes. This will be recorded and available on the events page to view. Bring a poem or two to read, hear our featured poet, and hang out afterwards.
Angela Liu is a Chinese-American writer/poet based in NYC and Tokyo. She is a two-time Nebula Award and 2025 Astounding Award Finalist. Her work has also been nominated for the Hugo, Locus, Ignyte, and Rhysling Awards. She previously researched mixed reality at Keio University in Japan with a focus on new narrative platforms and tangible interfaces for remote communication. Her stories and poems are published/forthcoming in Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, Lightspeed, and Logic(s), among others. Check out more of her work at liu-angela.com or find her on Instagram @liu_angela and on Bluesky @angelaliu.bsky.social.
