I’m excited to be presenting a paper at the Lesbian Lives Conference. (Brighton, Friday 24th February 2017).
Session Title: Permutations of Lesbian Love in Popular Fiction.
The title of my paper is Compelled to write – A writer’s perspective on the question ‘why do we write stories of lesbian love?’
Invitation to have your say!
It would be great to hear from other published authors as to ‘what compels you to write stories of lesbian love?’
I have created a short poll for you to complete. You can select one or as many of the reasons that are applicable to you. You can also add your own reason in ‘other’. All votes are anonymous. My paper will be published on my site after the conference.
It is important that you confirm in the poll below that you are a published author (this includes self-published authors) who writes stories about lesbian love.
Not restricted to lesbian romance genre.
Thank you for taking the time to participate!
Closing date: 11th February 2017

After reading an essay by Alice Walker in “In Our Mother’s Gardens” to the idea of ‘if you can not find what you want to read, then write it,’ I told myself a story. It was published by Firebrand, and then I told myself more stories. I believe we need to chronicle our lives, like a lesbian journal so we do not forget who we are. I will be very interested in reading other writer’s thoughts on why they write.
