Writing Our Space is a collection of personal essays,short stories,poems,and scripts written by members of the LGBTQ+ community across the UK. This collection spans from heartbreak on buses to loving our childhood selves; from tiger print skirts to reflections on an HIV diagnosis. The anthology features some of our community's most talented voices such as: Andr茅s Ordorica (winner of the Bloomsbury Short Story Slam 2016),Rosie Wilby (author of Is Monogamy Dead),and Beth Kirkbride (founder and editor of The Indiependent). This insight into modern queerness speaks to our love,our grief,and our resilience,as both individuals and a community. To the LGBTQ+ community,from the LGBTQ+ community - in our own words.

MEDIA REVIEWS
"Being Queer is a never-ending process,says Gregor Weir,one of the writers featured in this anthology,and Writing Our Space is an homage to the constantly shifting,undoubtedly beautiful,and often misunderstood state of being queer itself.An intersectional collection of poetry and short stories from queer writers all over the UK,this anthology features heart-wrenching tales of relearning to love yourself to candid stories of realising that anger has a right to be heard,too. Editors Eilidh Akilade and Ross Tanner have done a commendable job of collating these pieces of work to form an inclusive anthology that will resonate with all who read it.Filled with creativity and courage,Writing Our Space is an anthology that will grip you from start to finish." - Sasha Cook
