Houston Science Fiction and Fantasy August Meetup

Join us at 6:30 pm at Melange Creperie for an evening of socializing and fun with other Houston SFF authors.

Activities: How's the weather? Let's talk about creating climate in your fiction. Do you make a point of adding climate change or inclement weather? How does this impact your characters and plot? What's cooler than breaking genre conventions? Let's talk about normal writing stuff but also how you use climate in your stories to help or hinder your characters.

***About The Houston Science Fiction and Fantasy Meetup Group: In 2004, the Houston Science Fiction and Fantasy Meetup was born. Throughout its twenty-year history, it's been a stalwart supporter of sci-fi and fantasy writers in Houston, providing free educational workshops, spawning numerous critique groups, hosting writing salons, and most importantly, filling the backrooms of restaurants with local authors having boisterous conversations with each other regularly.As with all things, there have been ebbs and flows. Due to reduced attendance during the COVID lockdown and post-pandemic difficulties, the group stopped meeting in early 2024, leaving a dearth of opportunities for local authors to mingle and support one another.However, we're ready to resurrect this bad boy! With your help, we can zap it with some creative lightning and bring it back stronger than it was before!
