All SFWA members are invited to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's annual New York Reception on Monday evening, November 19, 2007, from 7:00 to 11:00 PM at the Society of Illustrators, 128 East 63rd Street, New York, NY 10021.

The SFWA New York Reception is our way of saying "thank you" to all the editors, agents, publishers, copy editors, art directors, production managers and other publishing professionals who do so much to further science fiction and fantasy. The reception is informal and open to all professionals in the field. So feel free to bring a publishing colleague or a significant other. But do remember to RSVP with all names.

The Society of Illustrators is a wonderful venue. This is our fourth year there and we love it. Again this year, there will be a special exhibit of SF/F related art organized by Tor Art Director Irene Gallo.

SFWA members should RSVP with names of all those in your party to execdir@sfwa.org. If you are bringing a colleague, please include title and company name or other professional association such as "writer" or "freelance copy editor."

The web site for the Society is www.societyillustrators.org, where there is a map, pictures, upcoming events, and other information. The telephone there is (212) 838-2560. The facility is not very handicap accessible and individuals with concerns may wish to call and check on particulars.
