About the Event

Hosted on the gorgeous rooftop lounge of The William Vale hotel in Brooklyn, this unique event will feature bestselling authors Tessa Bailey (Fix Her Up), Sonali Dev (Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors) and Alisha Rai (The Right Swipe). The authors will mix and mingle with guests before a panel discussion, led by Elena Nicolaou of Refinery29.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Three-time Hugo Award winner and NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin challenges and delights readers with thought-provoking narratives of destruction, rebirth, and redemption that sharply examine modern society in her first collection of short fiction, which includes never-before-seen stories.
"Whether she's exploring alien life forms or political machinations, self-sacrifice or monsters in New Orleans, Jemisin's characters are boldly drawn, complex, and so engaging. This is a great gift for any long-time fan and a solid introduction to her work for the curious, and I highly recommend you grab yourself the gorgeous hardcover version."—Book Riot/Swords & Spaceships
