Reactions to Last Year's ReadOut Festival
"As a Lesbian writer of colour it was heartening to have a whole festival reflecting the creative energy of lesbians and I very much welcomed this and wish there were more such literary events across the world."
"In Belize, the LGBTQI Community is comparatively small, but our experiences are not. Attending ReadOut has provided the inspiration to translate those experiences into stories we can share with the world."
"Finding community has been challenging. I live in a small town in New Zealand. I am the only lesbian writer/poet in my town. Attending so many lesbian talks renewed and inspired me. Thank you."
"It was the true discovery, that some kind of event like that is possible. Here, in the Eastern Europe, even the zoom-format of any types of LGBTQ-festivals could be dangerous for the participants."
"Loved being able to see, hear, and be part of my community as we came together in a joyful meaningful way to celebrate and discuss the serious matter of lesbian literature and art."
"I found ReadOut 2021 to be thought provoking and diverse. Great job!"
"Overall, a joy."
"It was powerful, moving, and an honor to participate."
"It was such an uplifting experience! I learned about many authors and books that I was unfamiliar with and have added those to my reading lists."
