Queering the Future: LGBTQ+ Authors on Octavia Butler’s Impact

Featuring Amber Flame, Nisi Shawl, and Anastacia-Renée

As part of this year’s Seattle Reads honoring the life and work of Octavia Butler, we’re excited to partner with the Seattle Public Library and the Elliott Bay Book Company to host a conversation about Butler’s influence on LGBTQ+ writers. We’ll welcome authors and friends of the store Amber Flame, Anastacia-Reneé, and Nisi Shawl for what promises to be a night of lively conversation and tribute to the inimitable Octavia Butler. Amy Hirayama from Clarion West will moderate the conversation.
