As BEA and the Audie Awards roll into town we are taking advantage of the wave of wonderful performers and writers joining in from around the globe. This is a Special Event, held in a venue we've used once before, right across the street from The Public Theater near Astor Place.


Skyboat Media is a Grammy winning, independent audiobook production company based in Los Angeles. Best known for high-quality audiobook presentations, especially in science fiction, since its founding in 1979, Skyboat has also been active in radio, stage, and film, offering full production personnel and facilities, including performing talent, writing, engineering and editing, directing and producing services.

Skyboat has produced the full works of Orson Scott Card and Ben Bova, and selected works of John Scalzi, Gregory Benford, Ursula Le Guin, Arthur C. Clarke, Cory Doctorow, Ru Emerson, Alex Bledsoe, Lewis Shiner, Fredric Brown, and Harlan Ellison. Skyboat produces all podcasts for the Hugo nominated Lightspeed Magazine.


Stefan Rudnicki has produced, directed and/or executive produced nearly 3,000 audiobooks for Skyboat Audio and major publishers including Audible, Inc., Blackstone Audio, Dove Audio, MacMillan Audio, Random House Audio Publishing Group and Zondervan. He has narrated hundreds of audiobooks, including multiple titles by Orson Scott Card (Ender, etc.), Charles McCarry, Ben Bova, Alan Dean Foster (Pip and Flinx), David Webber/John Ringo and Greg Bear, Matthew Stover, Gregory Benford, Gordon R. Dickson, and Fredric Brown. Stefan has won 2 Grammy Awards, as well as the Ray Bradbury Award, the Bram Stoker Prize and multiple Audie Awards for works by Harlan Ellison, OSC and others. His solo narration of Alex Bledsoe’s WISP OF A THING is an Audie finalist this year, in addition to Skyboat Media’s ENDER’S GAME ALIVE, a finalist in three categories including Distinguished Achievement in Production. Stefan is a 3-time Hugo nominee.

She’s narrated Ursula Le Guin, Gregory Benson, Ben Bova and Orson Scott Card. She is the director mastermind behind the dramatization of ENDER”S GAME ALIVE! She produced Jonathan Maberry’s V-WARS on audio. She just completed directing Wil Wheaton narrating Cory Doctorow’s HOMELANAD.
