We’re very excited to announce that io9 Managing Editor Charlie Jane Anders is coming to Penguicon as a Guest of Honor! She’s hard at work on a fantasy novel with Tor.com, who have picked her up for two novels.
Her novelette Six Months, Three Days won the 2012 Hugo, and her novel Choir Boy won a Lambda Literary Award, both receiving other big nominations.
She organizes the Writers With Drinks reading series in San Francisco (which sounds like a convention without all that pesky conventioning).
She co-edited the anthology She’s Such a Geek with Annalee Newitz and published an indy magazine called other. She’s also contributed to Mother Jones, the Wall Street Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle, Strange Horizons, and many other publications.
You can find more of her work in the McSweeney’s Joke Book of Book Jokes, Best Science Fiction Of The Year 2009, Sex for America, and other anthologies.
