Then recently I saw that it was a Hugo nominee, and realized that for the life of me I could not recall what it was about. But I did not have much choice but to finish it - I was stuck on a long flight (ah, those carefree pre-Covid times), and my other reading entertainment would have been the in-flight magazine. It had potential but kept failing to live up to it. When I first read this book about a year ago, it left me baffled and irritated. I talk to myself way too much when I’m working on a story.

To raise money for other magazine, we put on events like a Ballerina Pie Fight – which is just what it sounds like – and a sexy show in a hair salon where people took off their clothes while getting their hair cut. Also, Annalee and I put out a print magazine called other, which was about pop culture, politics and general weirdness, aimed at people who don’t fit into other categories. There was a lot of resistance to doing this book, because nobody believed there was a market for writing about female geeks.
I co-host a Hugo Award-winning podcast, Our Opinions Are Correct, with Annalee Newitz.īack in 2007, Annalee and I put out a book of first-person stories by female geeks called She’s Such a Geek: Women Write About Science, Technology and Other Nerdy Stuff. I organize Writers With Drinks, which is a monthly reading series here in San Francisco that mashes up a ton of different genres.
