Holiday Party: Recap
Posted by Karen
Hey everyone!
Happy 4th of July!!! This year’s festivity-planning got me thinking about previous celebrations. With that in mind, I wanted to do a blast-from-the-past event post that never made it onto the site. Enjoy!
Due to the cancellation of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Publishing Reception (affectionately known as the “Mill & Swill”), Peat decided to host a holiday party himself. This party took place in December of 2015 and was open to the Scifi/Fantasy author and publishing community.
We held the Holiday part at The Society of Illustrators Townhouse, which has hosted the SFWA Publishing Reception in the past. Some of the highlights included good food, great drinks, and a cash bar, with a special cockail menu.
There was also free swag, door prizes and a book swap! I contributed Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (a classic, I know). In return, I got to pick up Alice by Christina Henry. Alice came out last August and was well worth the read.
Spoiler: Peat contributed This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman, so if you’re looking for a good Scifi title, consider checking it out.
A veritable smorgasbord of amazing authors, artists, and industry pros came to the party. Best of all, all money was spent in support of a great cause as proceeds benefited the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Fund.
