Join us for the first LIVE Queer Joy Podcast recording: a fundraiser event for Shoreditch’s radical bookshop, The Common Press!
All previous Queer Joy podcasts were proudly recorded here – now we're opening it up to help keep The Press open (and have a silly time)
PWYC (suggested £5 min donation) all sales will go to the fundraiser.
Queer Joy host and romcom writer Lily Lindon will be interviewing Common Press staff about the gay pleasures in their work and lives:
What’s it like to work in an intersectional independent bookshop?
What delightful clubs & events could you join in here?
Is the barista you have a crush on single? Yes, there will be a Q&A!
Audience are also invited to loiter afterwards to have a joyous MINGLE & lurk the lovely shelves after hours
Plus, if you want to buy a copy of Lily’s books from The Press, they'll sign it for you (all proceeds to the Common Press):
DOUBLE BOOKED is a love triangle romcom about musicians - for bisexual babes
MY OWN WORST ENEMY is a masc 4 masc enemies-to-lovers romcom about rival butch actors - for theatre gays
So whether you find Queer Joy in supporting radical spaces, live community events, reading fun romcoms, or a simple flirt, BOOK YOUR PWYC TICKET NOW!
