It's a Pride mashup! Pride Speed Friending meets queer author readings from our friends at Plenitude Magazine. Are you looking to expand your circle of queer friends? Celebrate Pride all year round by bringing your favourite book, graphic novel, DVD, podcast, blog or zine to discuss at this fun, casual, in-person event. Lightning rounds of 6 minutes each will allow you to meet potential new friends and have interesting conversations.
At 7pm, enjoy exciting readings from Plenitude Magazine (your queer literary magazine) with contributing writers: David Ly, Shaelin Bishop, Catherine Lewis, Meghan Kemp-Gee, Andrea Routley, Siavash Saadlou, Jane Shi and more.
Books will be for sale at the event courtesy of Cross & Crows Books.
Registration is required, register with the ticket link above. This is an anti-oppressive, queer positive, scent-reduced and accessible safer space.
This event will be capped at 80 people, so sign up early!
*This event takes place in the Alice MacKay Room, lower level. Take the stairs before you reach the main entrance and it's the room right at the bottom of the stairs.
