F213. CANCELLED: We're Here, We're Queer: LGBTQ+ Small Presses and Journals Speak Up

Status: Not Accepted

Room 006A, Henry B. González Convention Center, River Level
Friday, March 6, 2020
1:45 pm to 3:00 pm

 

There's a vibrant history of LGBTQ+ writers protesting, celebrating, and finding belonging in shared creative endeavors, and today's most urgent, celebrated writing is emerging from small queer presses and journals. Editors at these presses detail the joys and struggles of dedicating a venture to queer work and queer authors; share their journey of starting or growing a queer literary organization; and encourage the audience to similarly devote themselves to the queer literary community.
