About this Event
Join the Queer Words Project Scotland for a Valentine’s Day date with a difference at Category Is Books, celebrating the launch of Fierce Salvage, a brand new anthology of queer Scottish writing from 404 Ink.
Curious and provocative, sometimes domestic, sometimes otherworldly, this collection of stories, poems and memoir provides a snapshot of Scotland’s queer community and LGBTI+ writing scene, and captures the experiences that bind our community together.
Join writers Ciara Maguire, Samuel Goldie and Matthew Kinlin for an evening of readings and conversation on queer lurve and queer literature.
