Oh, that is a weird coincidence - that weekend must speak strongly to us queer SFF nerds 😂 Bookish & Queer will also be available afterwards as View on Demand for anyone who can't be at two events at once, but wants to be.

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

Happily guilty on all charges! (Except for not getting out of bed, I will in fact be getting out of bed for this...but you don't have to if you don't want to.)

Good news for anyone who can't make the live event, all the panels will be available for View on Demand after the event on our website.

I can't recommend this event enough! No travel, no hotel costs, no need to leave your bed - regardless of whether you can't or don't want to. Queer books, queer authors, queer (and experienced) organisers. Grab a ticket, wherever you are in the world!
