November is near. First Friday will be this Friday, Nov 1, in Virginia.

We will have a reading from new author Tom Crepeau. We will also discuss Capclave.

The committee to discuss SF will talk about the Sept/Oct issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction. This is their 70th-anniversary issue and it is crammed with lots of big names. Kelly Link, Paolo Bacigalupi, Michael Moorcock, Elizabeth Bear, Maureen McHugh, Ken Liu, Esther Friesner, Michael Swanwick, and Gardner Dozois. If you read only one magazine issue this year, you want to read this one.

See everyone Friday.

NOTE: Our calendar app is not working. If you need directions to the meeting, please email <webmaster@wsfa.org>. We’re working on the issue.
