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 2021: What are you Reading?

March 2021 - What are you Reading?

The COVID-19 aliens cannot read! We're meeting virtually to avoid being contaminated by them.

On March 2, join the R-SPEC Team as we focus on the stories, novels, poems, and anything else that you, our members, have been intrigued by recently. It's certainly going to be interesting to discuss what you are reading, and how it may influence what you are writing.

  • Panelists: Lynn Spitz, Eric Scoles, Hugh Sullivan, and Ted Wenskus
  • Moderator: Alan Vincent Michaels

Location: Zoom (Please join us about 10 minutes before the regular 7 p.m. start time to ensure you're connected.)

Meeting Time: Tuesday, March 2, 2021 from 7-9 p.m. ET

Note: Virtual R-SPEC meetings on topics of interest may be recorded, and a link to the recording posted on our website.
