Broad Universe Launches Membership Contest at WisCon 2007
Le Guin, McHugh, Kushner Books up for Grabs
For immediate release: May 24, 2007 -- Broad Universe, an
organization that focuses on science fiction, fantasy, and horror
works written by women, is launching a membership drive at this
year's WisCon to be held May 25-28 in Madison, Wisconsin. The winners
and runners up will receive their choice of a signed book from Ursula
Le Guin, a signed copy of Mothers and Other Monsters by Maureen
McHugh, and a signed copy of Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner.
And anyone who brings in at least five new members will a one year
free membership!
Want to get in on the action? See below for the rules.
"We welcome the participation of everyone interested in women's
writing and artwork, regardless of race, class, sexual orientation,
disposable income, marital status, voting history, or ability to
knit," says Sue Lange, contest organizer. "By giving women authors
and illustrators a way to band together for encouragement and
support, we help each other achieve our writing goals." And it works!
Why should you join us? "You can find the latest news and hints on
genre writing in Broadsheet, our on-line newsletter," according to
Lange. "We also help you market your books through BU displays and
catalogs that promote BU authors. For those who enjoy reading their
work aloud, you can participate in public readings at various cons.
And most important," Lange adds, "if you need help in any
writing-related endeavor, you can call on member resources and
experience to answer your questions."
In addition, Broad Universe is committed to bringing the works of all
women writers of speculative fiction to the general public. They have
reading lists available as well as book reviews in their online
newsletter which is available to the public.
How can you become a member and support their efforts? Visit
www.broaduniverse.org for details. They offer two levels of
membership and membership benefits, at $30 and $15 per year (June 1 -
May 31), and anyone is welcome at either level. Want more
