How I Wrote It: A Series Celebrating Feminist Authors

Featuring Anastasia Curwood on Shirley Chisholm

In this series we will celebrate feminist authors who recently published a book or article.  A 15-20 minute interview with the author about the journey to publication will be followed by Q&A with the audience.  We will then celebrate with light refreshments and hearty congratulations at the Alumni Gallery (next door to auditorium)

A zoom option is available at https://zoom.us/j/7034048946

Please join us November 30th at 1:00 pm at the Cornerstone Esports Theater, or online, for INSIDE COMICS, a hybrid Q&A event with comic creators Stephanie Williams and O’Neill Jones. 

Stephanie Williams is a writer for DC's Nubia: Queen of the Amazons series, and also penned Wakanda #1 for Marvel. She's a comic book historian and pop culture critic for SYFYFANGRRLS, The A.V. Club, Nerdist, Den of Geek, and Rotten Tomatoes. Stephanie also created the webcomics Parenthood Activate! and But What If Though?

Erin O'Neill Jones is a comic book artist and illustrator who has drawn for publishers and brands such as: DC, IDW, Jordan Brand, Marvel, and Simon & Schuster. She is currently collaborating on REJECT SQUAD with author Alyssa Cole, which will be published in 2024 by Balzer + Bray / HarperCollins.

In 2020, Williams and ONeill Jones collaborated together to make Living Heroes, a fancomic mashup of superheroines and the 1990s sitcom, Living Single. The Kickstarter for this project was funded in a remarkable 24 hours.
