The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A a portion, providing you with the chance to share your own favourite queer stories and characters, followed by a drinks reception. Plus, all proceeds from ticket sales will go towards Out on the Page, supporting their upcoming projects to aid the development of young writers, and Black, Asian artists and Global Majority writers from the LGBTQIA+ community.
