Stories and Queer reading series steps in to embrace queer and queer friendly poets and writers who express themselves, the issues/ideas most important to them. This series makes a positive contribution to the literary and LGBTQ community by encouraging all people to tell their stories without shame or fear. 

We are a traveling reading series that aims to provide a space for local & national readers/listeners to connect with queer & queer-friendly writers in underrepresented areas of the country. The virtual components of this series are unique and allow us to reach beyond the local borders of the event. 

In order to feature local writers, we don't want to remain locked to one location. We want to take the series on the road. Locations include: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Denver/Boulder, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Providence, Seattle, San Antonio, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque/Santa Fe, Lincoln St. Louis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Iowa City, and Burlington.
