 is The Fifth Season. Her other books include The Inheritance Trilogy and 
 the Dreamblood duology. Her short fiction has appeared in Clarkesworld, 
 Postscripts, Strange Horizons, Baen’s Universe and other magazines and 
 anthologies. Her work has been nominated for the Hugo (three times), the 
 Nebula (four times), and the World Fantasy Award (twice); shortlisted for 
 the Crawford, the Gemmell Morningstar, and the Tiptree; and she has won a 
 Locus Award for Best First Novel as well as the Romantic Times Reviewer’s 
 Choice Award (three times).\n\nMaggie Tokuda-Hall has an MFA in writing 
 from USF and a tendency to spill things. She splits her time writing for 
 children and writing for adults, and her debut children's book, And Also an 
 Octopus, comes out in 2016. She's also written a lot of amazing smut for 
 the Shipwrecked series of literary fan-fiction.\n\nMaw Shein Win lives in 
 Berkeley and teaches in San Francisco. She often collaborates with visual 
 artists and musicians, and her most recent chapbook, Ruins of a glittering 
 palace, was published by SPA/Commonwealth Projects. She is a poetry editor 
 for Rivet and is a member of the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto.\n\nOcean 
 Capewell's first novel, The Most Beautiful Rot, was published in 2014. 
 She's currently working on her second book, a memoir entitled The Wrong 
 Universe, about being genderqueer and falling in love with a trans partner 
 who passes; it’s about the strange pull between those worlds, the 
 realization that one is not in the wrong body but the wrong 
 universe.\n\nSoma Mei Sheng Frazier's Collateral Damage: A Triptych earned 
 praise from Nikki Giovanni, Daniel Handler, Antonya Nelson and others. New 
 work is forthcoming in ZYZZYVA and Glimmer Train. Soma is completing a 
 screenplay and novel.\n\nAbout Writers With Drinks:\n\nWriters With Drinks 
 has won numerous "Best ofs" from local newspapers, and has been mentioned 
 in 7x7, Spin Magazine and one of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City 
 novels. The spoken word "variety show" mixes genres to raise money for 
 local causes. The award-winning show includes poetry, stand-up comedy, 
 science fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery, literary fiction, erotica, 
 memoir, zines and blogs in a freewheeling format.\n
