➡️ Introducing QCL Book Club
Join a friendly and like minded group of book loving LGBTQ+ creatives, to discuss a classic and diverse range of queer texts.
This month we’ll be talking about a newly published and exciting biography, ‘Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson’ by Tourmaline.
For this month's book club, we're excited to be collaborating with Harper Collins to share Tourmaline's extraordinary new work with our community. To help us do this, they've kindly given us copies of the book to share with this meeting's attendees.
If you'd like a free copy, simply grab a ticket to book club, and fill in the form linked here.
(we are asking folks to help us cover postage fees, but if this isn't financially feasible for you, drop us an email at queercreativeslondoncollective@gmail.com and we'll sort you out).
We read one book per month and meet once a month at Thingy Cafe in Hackney, on the last Tuesday of every month from 7pm - 9pm.
Thingy Cafe is a wonderful and spacious community cafe in Hackney Wick, with a lush garden space, selling a range of drinks and bites. It is fully wheelchair accessible and has an accessible toilet.
QCL Book Club is a FREE event, and is open to a maximum of 30 people per meeting. Tickets are first come first serve.

Accessibility
We are a neurodivergent and disability friendly book club and aim to make our meetings as accessible as possible! There is no pressure to speak during meetings if you don’t wish to, or to finish text before meetings if this isn’t possible.
We also have first aiders and mental health first aiders present at each event.
If you have any access needs you’d like to discuss before attending, or if you have any other questions, please get in touch! You can contact Eden on our Instagram @queercreativeslondon or via email at queercreativeslondoncollective@gmail.com
If you have got a ticket but are unable to attend, please return your tickets ASAP, so that someone else can come in your place.
