#About the event
Duration: 180 minutes
Queer memoirs are critical pieces of literature. They document first-hand accounts of the queer experience, make visible the diversity of the queer community, and remind us that no-one is alone in their journey. Join Eddie Ayres, highly acclaimed author of Danger Music, in finding your voice and turning your own life experience into a captivating work.
#20 Pages in 20 Minutes
Have your manuscript read by an editor, literary agent or publisher. If you have a manuscript ready for a publisher and you want advice on it, you can submit 20 pages of it for review. Selected submissions receive feedback in a face-to-face 20 minute consultation with a publishing professional.
