Norwescon is just around the corner, and I’ve got an exciting update to my programming.
My Reading will now be on Saturday 9-9:30pm Pacific Time, 30 March. You’ll be able to see it at Cascade 9 or on Norwescon’s Twitch Channel. Yes, that’s right, you don’t need to be at Norwescon to come to my reading! I’m excited.
My reading will be my first attempt at a talk/performance I’m working on, called “The Life You May Save is Your Own”
Liz performs a comic, speculative, and non-fiction performance piece, inspired by her zine, Ordinary Madness, a love letter to an unread book, and various short works. Rated PG.
Norwescon in Seatac (Seattle/Tacoma airport region), WA, USA, will be the first convention I do in person programming since Covid! It’ll be on from March 28-31, 2024.
Here’s the updated programing, with a few more details about each panel.
