The Carl Brandon Society is holding a raffle fundraiser to support the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship.  The Carl Brandon Society is an organization which strives “to increase racial and ethnic diversity in the production of and audience for speculative fiction.”  The scholarship enables writers of color to attend one of the Clarion writing workshops, where Octavia got her start.

For only $1 you can win a Nook, Kobo eReader, or an Alex, preloaded with fiction from N. K. Jemisin, Nisi Shawl, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Terence Taylor, Ted Chiang, Shweta Narayan, Chesya Burke, Moondancer Drake, Saladin Ahmed, Rochita Loenen-Ruiz, and many others.  (They’ll also be preloaded with copies of Paper Cities and Sybil’s Garage No. 7).
