MASQUES NEWS
Mar. 2nd, 2009 05:59 pmNote the excited capitals!!!!! And the exclamation marks!!!! Now, keep reading:
Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild (CSFG) Publishing would like to invite you to the launch of its eighth anthology "Masques" on 20th March 2009, from 5.00pm.
Special guest author Gary Hampson will unveil Masques at the National Archives of Australia, Queen Victoria Terrace, Parkes.
Some authors and editors will be in attendance to sign copies of Masques. Please join us for an evening of food, wine and books.
Based in Canberra, the CSFG aims to assist science fiction, fantasy, horror writers and illustrators Australia-wide to develop their craft through critiquing, and sharing news and experiences. 30 authors from across Australia (and beyond) come together in Masques.
Jack Dann, multiple award-winning author, who has written and edited over seventy-five books including his international best seller The Memory Cathedral, says about Masques:
“Forget The Financial Review, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The West Australian, The Canberra Times; forget all the bad news on the radio and television; forget the recession, depression, inflation, deflation, monetization, securitization, and the jobless rate. Forget all that because we are in the lucky country; and if you need proof (and perhaps also a bit of relaxation, ‘fantasization’, and exhilaration!), then start reading Masques, edited by Gillian Polack and Scott Hopkins. Here are our own home-grown fantasists…who will knock your argyle socks off.”
RSVP to Gillian (c/- her LJ) or to pandorarichards(at)yahoo.com by 13th March 09
CSFG is proud to work in conjunction with the Canberra Writers Centre.
