The New York Review of Science Fiction Readings
presents
Rajan Khanna
and
Fran Wilde
Guest Curated by
Amy Goldschlager

Remember remember the fifth of November
Good writers, good friends, and whatnot;
I see no reason why our reading this season
Should ever by us be forgot

For Guy Fawkes Day, guest curator Amy Goldschlager has plotted an evening of fine writers for us, each of whom has recently sold their debut novels.


Rajan Khanna is a writer, narrator, and blogger.  His columns and articles regularly appear on >Tor.com and>LitReactor.com.  He has narrated fiction for markets such as Podcastle, Escape Pod, Starship Sofa, Lightspeed Magazine, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies.  His short fiction has appeared in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Daily Science Fiction, and several anthologies including The Way of the Wizard and the upcoming Dead Man’s Hand.  His first novel, Falling Sky, will be out from Pyr Books in Autumn of 2014.

Fran Wilde is an author, programmer, and technology consultant. She’s worked as a science and engineering writer, a sailing instructor, a game developer, and a jeweler’s assistant.  Her first novel is forthcoming from Tor in 2015, with two more to follow.  Her short stories have appeared or will appear in Asimov’s (April/May 2014), Nature, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and The Impossible Futures anthology, while her nonfiction interviews with writers have appeared under the banner “Cooking the Books” at Strange Horizons, the SFWA blog, and at franwilde.wordpress.com.

Amy Goldschlager is an editor, writer, and reviewer who lives in New York City and exists virtually at amygoldschlager.com.  She has worked for several major publishers, and has contributed to the LA Review of Books, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, ComicMix, and AudioFile magazine.  She currently writes the audiobook review column for Locus.


The New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series provides performances from some of the best writers in science fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction, etc.  The series usually takes place the first Tuesday of every month, but maintains flexibility in time and space, so be sure to stay in touch through the mailing list, the Web, and Facebook.

There will be a raffle for all who donate for admission.

After the event, please join us as we treat our readers for dinner and drinks nearby.

The SoHo Gallery for Digital Art (www.sohodigart.com) is dedicated to re-establishing SoHo as an international center for the development of new artistic forms, concepts and ideas.  A screens-instead-of-canvases approach allows a wide selection of art from around the world which would otherwise never make it to the City.  The SGDA is available for private gatherings and events of all kinds.  For bookings call (800) 420-5590 or visit http://sohogallerynyc.com.
