Have you asked yourself lately: What could I do to make my October really super extra queer? Sarah Boira and Vedrana Velickovic have THE festival for you. Listen to this episode to learn all about The Coast is Queer, the UK’s first LGBTQIA+ literary festival that celebrates all texts queer. Some of the events to get excited about: a panel on queer Ukraine, an event about invisible identities, a zine making workshop with lots of participation and plenty of partying with performance poets and open mic nights! Find out more on Instagram (@coastisqueerfest) or on the festival website. Everything is happening (and it really sounds like it’s happening) from 12-15 October at the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts in Brighton.

If you could curate a panel for a queer lit festival, who would you invite and what would the topic be? 2. What does ‘literature’ mean for Sarah and Vedrana? What is your definition of literature? 3. Sarah and Vedrana talk about queering the form of the festival. What does that entail? 4. Which author that you heard about in this episode are you looking up?
