Fallow, me as museum piece, and a queer literature party

Last call for Fallow at the Farm

It is your last chance to get tickets for Fallow at the Farm, a creative retreat which will happen this Saturday, 5^th July, 11-4.

I’m really looking forward to welcoming a small group to the lovely space on Otley Chevin where we will chill and create in response to the four elements of air, earth, water and fire. These are some of the materials I have been gathering for the day.

Hope you can make it! Here is the booking link.

Literature in Leeds

Literature in Leeds opened yesterday at Abbey House Museum. This multi-media exhibition gives a fascinating insight into different writers’ processes and themes as well as celebrating the festivals, libraries and independent bookshops that are the hub of literature in the city. I am very honoured to be featured alongside other writers with strong Leeds links. The exhibition is on until 6^th March so there is plenty of time to catch it. More details here,

Queer Literature Party – Reading! Writing! Revolution!

I’m one of the group organising this party for queer readers and writers next Thursday 10 July (7-9pm) at The Bookish Type. If you’re interested in coming along, you can book a free spot here. 

Thanks also to those of you who filled in the survey about Substack. More on this in coming months.
