Enjoy a discussion with queer writer, editor and publisher Catherine Lundoff on the history of LGBTQ+ publishing in the US, using examples from Quatrefoil’s collection. The publishing process itself is often one that takes a back seat to the writing and the creative portion of making a book, but it is important in and of itself. The ability to publish books ourselves with our communities in mind is critical for keeping queer voices available for the future. Event includes a discussion and live Q&A. 

Sign up for this event on our Eventbrite. Registration is free but required.
