* Who: Nina LaCour, Amy Schneider, Jordan Ellenberg, Claire Light/Jadie Jang and Elsa Sjunneson
About the readers/performers:
Nina LaCour is the best-selling and award-winning author of several books for young adults, including We Are Okay, which won the Michael L. Printz Award, Hold Still, which was a William C. Morris Debut Award finalist and won the Northern California Book Award, and Watch Over Me, which was named a Buzzfeed Best YA Book of 2020. Mama and Mommy and Me in the Middle is her debut picture book. Her first novel for adults, Yerba Buena, is out now. Nina LaCour loves cooking, gardening, and day tripping through the ever-inspiring regions of Northern California with her wife and their daughter.
Amy Schneider is a forty-time (!) Jeopardy champion, engineer and public speaker. She was just a grand marshall in San Francisco's Pride Parade, where she gave a brilliant speech that said, "We will not be silenced."
Jordan Ellenberg's latest book is Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Information, Biology, Strategy, Democracy, and Everything Else. Ellenberg has been writing for a general audience about math for more than fifteen years; his work has appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Wired, The Believer, and the Boston Globe, and he is the author of the “Do the Math” column in Slate. His novel, The Grasshopper King, was a finalist for the 2004 New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award. His 2014 book How Not To Be Wrong was a New York Times and Sunday Times (London) bestseller.
Hugo, Aurora and British Fantasy Award Award winner Elsa Sjunneson writes and edits speculative fiction and non-fiction. Her fiction work has appeared in magazines such as Uncanny and Fireside, and as part of the team behind Serial Box’s exclusive: Marvel's Jessica Jones: Playing with Fire. In 2018 she was the Co-Guest Editor in Chief of Disabled People Destroy Science Fiction. Her debut memoir Being Seen: One Deafblind Woman’s Fight to End Ableism was published by Simon & Schuster in 2021, and her Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla novel Sword of the White Horse was released in 2022.
Claire Light (writing as Jadie Jang) is the author of the novel Monkey Around. She started a magazine (Hyphen) and an arts festival (APAture) with a cast of Asian Pacific Americans even more magical, if less supernatural, than the ones she writes about. She also got an MFA, went to Clarion West, and compromised between the two by publishing a collection of “literary” sci-fi short stories called Slightly Behind and to the Left.
About Writers With Drinks:
Writers With Drinks has been going since 2001, has won numerous "Best ofs" from local newspapers, and has been mentioned in 7x7, Spin Magazine and one of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City novels. The spoken word "variety show" mixes genres to raise money for local causes. The award-winning show includes poetry, stand-up comedy, science fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery, literary fiction, erotica, memoir, zines and blogs in a freewheeling format.
