Confluence is Pittsburgh’s local science fiction convention, so of course I’m going! Here’s my schedule:
Friday, July 24
Convention-going advice – come on, come on, it’s worth a try, right?
Readings by members of Broad Universe, a nonprofit international organization of women and men dedicated to celebrating and promoting the work of women writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror. For more information: http://broaduniverse.org .

It’s not too late to plan on going! Be there or be… not there! 😀
