And we can’t wait.
The Queer the Shelves Book Festival in Nottingham is this coming Saturday. Twenty-two authors, seventy readers, an after-party, old friends, new friends, books, books, books… It’s always a fantastic day, and this year is going to be just as awesome.
If you haven’t already, go check out the fabulous blogs from the authors who are attending. We asked them to tell us about their favorite writing memory, and we got some really great answers.
Tickets for the day program sold out three months in advance, and that tells us something really important; our community wants community. Regardless of who the attending authors are, regardless of what we’ve got planned, our LGBTQ readers wanted to be there. How amazing is that? If you’re one of the ticket holders, we can’t wait to see you. If you didn’t manage to get a ticket, we still have room at the after-party, so you can join us there and have some food, listen to some readings, and have a good laugh.
And, if you’re around on Friday night, we’re going to have a casual meet up at The New Foresters Pub. We’ll be there about 7pm, and hopefully we’ll gather outside and have a lovely, chilled out night. Feel free to come along!
See you soon.
