Writing Our Space is a collection of personal essays, short stories, poems, and scripts written by members of the LGBTQ+ community across the UK. This collection spans from heartbreak on buses to loving our childhood selves; from tiger print skirts to reflections on an HIV diagnosis. The anthology features some of our community’s most talented voices such as: Andrés Ordorica (winner of the Bloomsbury Short Story Slam 2016), Rosie Wilby (author of Is Monogamy Dead?), and Beth Kirkbride (founder and editor of The Indiependent). This insight into modern queerness speaks to our love, our grief, and our resilience, as both individuals and a community. To the LGBTQ+ community, from the LGBTQ+ community - in our own words.
'Eilidh Akilade and Ross Tanner have brought together an incredible selection of authors to provide a text that shows the beauty and bravery of diverging from heteronormativity, whilst equally demonstrating the challenges that this non-conformity can often bring. Painfully relatable, and genuinely funny, this is a much-needed breath of fresh air for everyone, regardless of how you identify. From start to finish, this book projects the voices of people from all walks of life, touching on the romantic, mundane, and tragic experiences of queer people.'- Grace Martin
