Unlikely Story Goes to Readercon

Unlikely Story is going to Readercon! On Sunday, July 13, several of the authors featured in Unlikely Story #9: The Journal of Unlikely Cartography will be discussing maps and imaginary geography.

Sunday -- 1:00 PM -- G -- Unlikely Cartography. Shira Lipkin, Sarah Pinsker, Carrie Cuinn. This summer, Unlikely Story will publish their Unlikely Cartography issue, featuring stories by Shira Lipkin, Kat Howard, Sarah Pinsker, Carrie Cuinn, and others. Together with editors A.C. Wise and Bernie Mojzes, these authors will discuss their stories, and other authors (historical and modern) who similarly explored the cartography of the fantastic. Influences and discussion topics may include Calvino’s Invisible Cities, Eco’s Legendary Lands, Post’s Atlas of Fantasy, Mieville’s The City and the City, and more.

Maps seem to be a popular theme at Readercon this year. Are we trendsetters? We like to think so. Readercon consistently offers thoughtful discussion and insightful programming. Check out the full schedule, map-related and otherwise.

Outside of official programming, Editors Bernie Mojzes and A.C.Wise, and Art Director Linda Saboe will be at the con all weekend. Find us and say hi. We love meeting new people!
