The first public release of the 2015 aois21 annual. Contributors will be present to read poetry and other submissions. We will be thanking featured guests for their support of the Kickstarter campaign that raised the necessary funding to make the annual happen. The event will be tied into the Fall for the Book Festival in Fairfax in what we hope will be a yearly occurrence. The event will be webcast on Periscope and posted on YouTube the day after. All are welcome, but space is limited.

• aois21 Creative James D. King, author of the forthcoming Sci-Fi Novella Hive: First Contact, will be reading his short story The Man Who Remembered The Future
• aois21 Creative Deepan Chatterjee, Ph.D, author of the poetry and short fiction collection The First Prophetical, will be reading his short story The Hookah Bar
