 honing his skills through more than 100 television commercials and a dozen 
 feature films, including Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and 
 Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Galaxy Quest, Terminator 3, A.I. and the 
 Matrix sequels. Savage also teaches, lectures and consults on a variety of 
 topics to students, business folks and everyday Joes. Somehow he also finds 
 time to devote to his own art -- his sculptures have been showcased in over 
 40 shows in San Francisco, New York and Charleston, West 
 Virginia.\n\nMiriam Bird Greenberg is the author of In the Volcano’s 
 Mouth, which won the 2015 Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize. She's been recognized

 night in the new country (Sixteen Rivers) and Pact-Blood, Fevergrass 
 (Ricochet Editions)—and her work has appeared in Poetry, the Missouri 
 Review, and the anthologies Best New Poets 2014 (Samovar) and The Queer 
 South (Sibling Rivalry). A former Wallace Stegner Fellow, she lives in the 
 San Francisco Bay Area, where for many years she collaboratively developed 
 site-specific performances for very small audiences.\n\nIsabel Yap writes 
 fiction and poetry, works in the tech industry, and drinks tea. Born and 
 raised in Manila, she currently works in London. Her writing has recently 
 appeared in The Best of Philippine Speculative Fiction 2005–2010, 
 Tor.com, Interfictions Online, Stone Telling, and Nightmare 
 Magazine.\n\nPrincess Kali is the author of Enough to Make You Blush: 
 Exploring Erotic Humiliation. Her dynamic and engaging style of presenting 
 has been welcomed at more than 150 venues including kink events such as 
 Dark Odyssey, Fetish Fair Fleamarket, Kink in the Caribbean, and IMsL as 
 well as mainstream venues such as Harvard University and SXSW. As the 
 founder of Erotication.com, she pioneered the model of the 
 “kinktrepreneur”, creating sites such as Kink Academy, Passionate U, 
 and Fearles Press for easy access to adult sex and BDSM 
 education.\n\nCo-host Annalee Newitz is the author of Scatter, Adapt, and 
 Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Exctinction. She's also the author 
 of Autonomous, a novel coming in 2017 from Tor Books. She is the Tech 
 Culture Editor at Ars Technica, and the founding editor of io9. She was the 
 recipient of a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT.\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
