QueerLit Southwest, founded by 3 LGBTQ+ authors and a queer small business owner, is a not-for-profit book signing event created to be a safe place for LGBTQ+ authors and artists to share their work in a dedicated space.

Based in Southwest England, our goal is to celebrate queer literature in all forms and make it accessible to authors, artists, and readers in the Southwest where there are fewer signings to attend.

With the current political climate and the rise in AI usage, our team feels its more important now than ever before to provide a space like QueerLit Southwest to keep human creativity alive through queer literature and art.
