Pushing boundaries comes naturally to Queer writers and creating new worlds allows us to explore new possibilities and shine a light on our own.

It can allow us to imagine a future that can be a little better, more compassionate and inclusive or even a little sexier. Join us as we chat to these writers who have deftly moonwalked into fantasy, science fiction and erotica. Caitlin Spice uses dark fantasy and horror in her stories, Samuel Te Kani explores sexuality and erotica in his writing, which has been described by Toi Māori as “some of the dopest short stories in the whole dry country” and Jem Yoshioka looks at robots, romance and resilience in her comic series ‘Circuits and Veins’.

Chaired by award-winning author: Gina Cole
