Awards season is starting soon. Time for a primer on SFWA's Suggested Reading List! The list is a great way to find new books, stories, games, and media, and get up-to-date for the upcoming awards season. Let's have a thread! 1/11
The Suggested Reading List is created by SFWA's 1800+ members. It's always being added to, with new listings appearing as members make recommendations for work they loved. 2/11
Only SFWA members can add to the list. We would LOVE it if *every* SFWA member added their favorites. The more members participate, the better and more useful the list is. We especially would like to see more recommendations for indie books and diverse works! 3/11

DS: We’re going to talk about decolonization, and about how to represent other cultures in your writing. But first, intros.
BC: I’m in publishing, and we specialize in SF and comics, with a multicultural flair. And I’m originally from Pittsburgh!

Ignite Talks at #Nebulas2018 - many things very quickly!
First up, Rekka Jay talking about sailing ships to a good crowd.
A ship is moving six directions at once. You can get used to that - get your sea legs - but you may never get completely over being sea sick.

What do you do when you make a mistake, and we will ALL make mistakes. How do you apologize?
