Recognising the challenges of connecting with like-minded queer creatives for those who live and work regionally, a new literary festival Q-Lit aims to connect and celebrate LGBTQIA+ writers living in regional Victoria.
Q-Lit’s Creative Director Dr Kate Hall, who is based on the state’s Surf Coast, says that just as ‘queer’ is used as an inclusive term for all members of the LGBTQIA+ community, the festival likewise has a focus on uniting a broad array of Victorian writers.
