Join Lambda Literary for our favorite part of Retreat Week: our Reading Series.

We're starting the week off with a bang: our Faculty will be sharing their work and participating in an audience Q&A after the reading. Start thinking about questions you want to ask these talented writers! 

Each night following Sunday, ~18 fellows will share a slice of their literary art. Each fellow will be sharing work in the genre they're studying under at the Retreat. This is our moment to show up for our community! The room is always alive with laughter, tears, mmhmm's of agreement, whoops of celebration, and applause. We can't wait to see what magic they will share with us! 

On Saturday, join us for the afternoon Writer in Residence reading series. Our Writers in Residence are retreat alumni who are returning as emerged writers to spend time in queer writing community, so you KNOW these readings are not ones to miss!

For virtual attendees, zoom link will be sent upon registration.
