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
