The First Woman on Mars

Nov 21, 2011 20:42

I wrote an 8,000-word essay, a kind of prolegomenon that shades into fiction in its closing pages, and published it informally as a chapbook, The First Woman on Mars, and distributed about 60 copies at the Women and Mars Conference in Washington, D.C. on November 9-10. I'm unsure how successful this publication and distribution experiment was (my hope or purpose was and is to inspire people about the future prospects of the human race, and so far the limited response I have received suggests that I may not be entirely deluded in maintaining that hope and purpose) but for sure I need to recoup some of its expense, and so for a limited time I am offering copies for sale.

Those interested can send $20 (17 + 3s&h) in the U.S. or $25 (17 + 8) outside the U.S. via PayPal to vranizky at speakeasy dot net. Once printing costs are recouped, all money from further sales will go to the Little, Big Project. The chapbook is beautifully printed, with full color imagery on the front and back covers. I had approximately 150 copies printed, though only 50 or so remain; more copies may or may not be printed in the future.

Creating The First Woman on Mars was the most exhilarating writing experience of my life, thus far. I am very happy with it. I hope you like it.
