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 and nonbinary writers from the Austin community (and beyond!), this month’s I Screamers are Heather Lefebvre, Amanda Scott, and Rachel Gray.

Heather Lefebvre is a writer/editor from New Hampshire and essentially an icy birch tree at heart. She is the founder of Broad! Magazine and Scorpion Baby Press, a fiction reader with fields, and a member of the Lenguas Locx writers collective. Her writing has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and published with Hobart, Sycamore Review, SunMoon Missive, the first I Scream Social anthology, and elsewhere. In her free time, you can find her at karaoke or in the kitchen baking bread. Her favorite flavor of ice cream is dark chocolate, olive oil and sea salt (from Lick).

Amanda Scott is a Senior Lecturer at Texas State University, where she also serves as Assistant Executive Editor for Porter House Review. Her work has appeared in Crab Orchard Review, Gulf Coast, New South, phoebe, The Common, and elsewhere. Her favorite flavor of ice cream is dark chocolate raspberry.

Rachel Gray is a writer and educator living in Austin. She has been published in Two Serious Ladies and Hobart, and has won numerous awards for her work. Her favorite flavor of ice cream is pistachio.

~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.
