Hello,
I’m a librarian, writer, and speculative fiction book group leader in Williamsburg, Virginia. I’m working on a handbook for speculative fiction groups for Libraries Unlimited and would like to include a broader perspective than just my own. Would you be willing to answer some questions about your group? Please send me email if you would consider responding.
Thanks for considering,
—

I’ll pass your request onto our reading group and get back to you.
