A reading list that delves into some of the most powerful tellings of queer realities, stories, and imaginings within CanLit. Experience the depth and diversity of Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community, as a proud member, a questioner, or an ally. Here we are all readers, writers, and lovers of words.
Wordstock Sudbury Literary Festival proudly creates space for conversations that highlight marginalized voices and the issues most relevant to them. This reading list includes festival alumni, Shani Mootoo, Casey Plett, Farzana Doctor, Zoe Whittall and Sydney Hegele who was a part of our French Kiss event at Salon du Livre du Grand Sudbury
We look forward to the new conversations and queer authors who will celebrate our 11th Edition with us this November.
