Sci-Fi Story Café Special: Women Writing the ‘What if?’, Thursday 15th August, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, £2/Free, 18+, Women only
Women sci-fi writers transport us to utopias and dystopias, inviting us to consider ‘what would happen if?’. We’ll step into some of their otherworlds, seeing through the eyes of authors including Margaret Cavendish, Nalo Hopkinson and Tatyana Tolstaya as they take us through tree worlds, tundra and time travel from the 1660s to the present day.
‘I just felt like being in the GWL heals the soul/spirit/body/mind/everything’ – Story Café Attendee
