R-SPEC is a group of writers, readers and thinkers in the Rochester NY area, that exists to celebrate and create speculative literature. We hold public meetings once a month to discuss new ideas and critically examine the literature we care about. You can help by joining us at a meeting, or becoming a member.

March 2014: R-SPEC Activities Open Forum / What Are We Writing & What's Working? [PROGRAM CHANGE]

Due to circumstances beyond her control, Alicia Henn will be unable to present at our March meeting. Instead we'll take the opportunity to introduce our new officers and discuss activities we're considering for the coming year. After that we hope to spend some time looking forward to the April Camp NaNoWriMo session by discussing what we're working on.

Moderator: Alan Michaels
Location: Barnes & Noble, Pittsford
Meeting Time: March 4, 2014 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
