Her novel The Calculating Stars is one of the few works to win the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards in a single year. She is also a recipient of the Astounding Award for Best New Writer and multiple Hugo awards. A professional puppeteer for over twenty years, Kowal’s background in physical performance informs much of her approach to character in prose. She shares this craft expertise as a core cast member of the long-running, Hugo-winning podcast Writing Excuses. Kowal served as the President of SFWA and is an accomplished audiobook narrator. At home, she explores communication through a different lens with her cat, Elsie, who uses Augmentative Interspecies Communication buttons to “talk.” She also has an asteroid named after her. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/09f81a00-9c4f-11f1-80bb-ebfa6612c095-rimg-w1109-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0a07d170-9c4f-11f1-80bb-ebfa6612c095-rimg-w493-h740-dc183848-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pittsburgh/an-evening-with-mary-robinette-kowal-at-space-bar/100001991875978672 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Space Bar - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.18, max: 35.98, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pittsburgh - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Space Bar - **lat**: 40.44127659999999 - **long**: -80.0029758 - **full address**: Space Bar, 22 Market Square, Pittsburgh, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Mary Robinette Kowal at Space Bar - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/b08baea57933530d39a08b3697dad28ed50742bcca866ad51ad2f88a0c47c5cf-rimg-w1200-h600-dc402952-gmir.jpg?v=1781563584 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Mary Robinette Kowal at Space Bar being held? - **A:** An Evening with Mary Robinette Kowal at Space Bar takes place on Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Space Bar, 22 Market Square, Pittsburgh, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Mary Robinette Kowal at Space Bar? - **A:** An Evening with Mary Robinette Kowal at Space Bar is organized by Space Bar. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
