Short Tales from the Mothership is inspired by the short postcard stories that sci-fi magazine editor George Hay encouraged in the 1970’s. He dared such authors as Arthur C. Clarke to send sci-fi stories that easily fit onto a postcard. This event also takes inspiration from the iconic architecture of our Mothership here on the UC San Diego campus (The William Pereira-designed Geisel Library building.) If you enjoy creative writing or hearing original short stories, you won’t want to miss this sci-fi micro-fiction event. Taken from the sci-fi aesthetics of UC San Diego’s iconic Geisel Library building, the UC San Diego Library is hosting a written/spoken word event for the campus and San Diego communities. Submit a story 250 words or less by May 8th, 2020. We're hosting a virtual event on MAY 19th at 4:00pm. You're invited to read your story live at our virtual event, or we can read aloud for you.
