About this Event

This page is for online tickets for this event - please see our separate page for in-person tickets.

Flash fiction, stories from 20 words to 1,000 words, is one of the most varied forms of literature. These enchanting stories by LGBT+ authors about life, love, laughter, and longing cover the whole gamut of emotions, and since none of them lasts more than five minutes or so, there's a dizzying procession of possibilities. These have been created by the young tyros from the Homo Promos Creative Writing Workshops funded by Southwark Council. Come and hear a whole range of new writing, shortly to be published in an anthology, Flash Dances. Admission is free, and refreshments are provided.
