starladySo my friendshveta_writes and I both had an excellent time at Sirens 2010 in Vail, Colorado, last year, and at this year's con Shveta is scheduled to present on "Magical and Monstrous Female Beings in South Asian Myth and Folklore" withrachelmanija. Sirens is awesome, but even in the off-season getting out to Vail and lodging there isn't precisely cheap, and Shveta is offering her copyediting and proofreading and/or critiquing services for hire, at quite reasonable rates, to raise enough money to cover her costs. I've had the privilege of getting some of my work critiqued by her, and Shveta was a professional copy-editor until she recently quit her job to focus on her writing; she's damn good at both. So, if you have some proofing or critiquing you'd like done and would like to support the cause of diversity in fantasy literature, or have a few bucks to spare to the donate button, please check out her post!
ETA: Andrecessional is having a book sale to fund her upcoming move. Interesting stuff available, check it out!
And because I haven't done this lately, here's my current con-going intentions:
Everything else is completely up in the air, as usual.

Re: Mechademia Conference, Go Go Go!
Date: 2011-07-25 01:31 (UTC)I get in at 4pm on Thursday, air travel willing. I have no idea whether that means I'll make it to the roundtable or not. I was told that Tom's public lecture that night is a must-see, though.

Date: 2011-07-25 21:26 (UTC)With luck Marc Hairston will have someone record the talk and share the files, like he's done for past presentations!
