Six Bridges Book Festival

Debbie Urbanski & Jedediah Berry

Join us for a session with Debbie Urbanski (After World) & Jedediah Berry (The Naming Song).

Debbie Urbanski’s stories and essays have been published in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, The Best American Experimental Writing, and elsewhere. In 2019, she received a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award for emerging women writers of exceptional promise. In the novel After World, humans have gone extinct to save the planet, and an AI storyworker is tasked with telling the story of Sen Anon, the last human on Earth. 

Jedediah Berry is the author of three novels and a story in cards. He and his partner, writer Emily Houk, run Ninepin Press, an independent publisher of fiction, poetry, and games in unusual shapes. In Berry’s second novel, The Naming Song, an unnamed courier of the Names Committee is accompanied by a patchwork ghost, a fretful monster, and a nameless animal who prowls the shadows while she searches for the truth of her past.
