Edmonds: Wednesday, 6:30 pm!

March is Women’s History Month, and Under the Rainbow, in conjunction with Edmonds Library and Edmonds Bookshop, are sponsoring a special storytelling event with, well, me. Here are the details.

Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Edmonds Library

• Event: Under the Rainbow: Nicola Griffith. Doors open 6:00 PM, programme 6:30 – 7:30 PM Pacific. Edmonds Library, 650 Main St, Edmonds, WA 98020
• Co-sponsored by Under the Rainbow, this will be an hour of reading and conversation all about many parts of my life and writing but—given that it’s Women’s History Month—a fair amount focused on why seeing women and especially queer women in historical fiction is so important
• I’ll do a couple of sort reading but mainly be in conversation with my favourite interlocutor, the ever-fabulous Kelley Eskridge!

George has some advice for you:

Activists Assemble: A Festival of Activism -and- Community Food Drive

Sunday, January 25, 10 am–2 pm
Shorewood High School Shoreline
Free

Bring all your friends

You’ve marched, you’ve chanted, you’ve made signs... Now what? Activists Assemble has an answer, covering next steps during the Festival of Activism. It’s a day of celebration and ideation focused around converting momentary outrage into sustained local action. Bringing together advocacy groups, experts, and neighbors for panel discussions on health and wellness, immigration, and housing, the single-day event pairs hands-on activities like voter registration and gun safety education with live music, dancing, and a strong “everyone’s welcome” ethos (especially those new to advocacy).
