Get your cones ready for another round of Malvern Books’ FREE reading series, I SCREAM SOCIAL, hosted by Malvern’s own Annar Veröld and Schandra Madha. Featuring women-identified writers from the Austin community (and beyond!), this month’s I Screamers are Aneesa Needel, Annar Veröld, and Beverly Chukwu.

Aneesa Needel is a lover of creativity and writing among other things. Since finding her passion in playwriting more than 10 years ago, she has written many shorts and one-acts. She is excited to announce that she’ll have a 10-minute play staged at the end of April/beginning of May at Hyde Park Theatre with 7 other amazing works for Out of Ink 2019. You can check out her short playwriting work related to music at Lyricstolines.com. Aneesa’s favorite ice cream is birthday cake with actual cake pieces and sprinkles!

Annar Veröld is an I Scream Socialist and screenwriter-director. If she looks familiar, it’s because you’ve seen her waiting for the bus. Her debut short film, Ophelia In Between, screened at SXSW; she served as producer and cinematographer for Felted—which just won a Remi Award at WorldFest; and she is currently wrapping up production on her short Moonwater, starring Schandra! Her favorite flavor of ice cream is a pint of Halo Top’s pistachio ice cream, left on the counter to melt for 30 minutes and shared with her husband A.J. while their dog, best boy Oscar, trots around the apartment showing off a biscuit they gave him an hour ago.

Beverly Chukwu is a writer and filmmaker based out of Austin. She is a former episode writer for New Sky Kids, her work has advanced in Austin Film Festival, and she currently works as a full-time video production coordinator for Dimensional. She claims to have been a “dark” child growing up, and this former sad girl is at the root of both her fiction and screenwriting today. Despite being lactose intolerant, Beverly has always been devoted to Blue Bell’s Cookies N’ Cream ice cream, even when it was on numerous recalls.

~7pm – Ice cream & Open Mic for women-identified and non-binary writers. We want a chance to hear everyone’s wonderful work, so please try to keep readings under 3 minutes.

~The featured reading begins after the open mic and will be followed by even more ice cream.

Can’t make it this time around? No worries. I Scream Social is every month ’til the end of time.
