About this Event

Learn the art of queer fiction with author Chloe De Lullington.

Over six in-person sessions, attendees will learn the fundamentals of short storytelling, and explore the world of queer fiction through writing excercises, close readings of classic and contemporary queer texts, and group discussions.

Participants on this course will create up to three short stories over the duration of this course. Your best story will be published in a Comma Press eBook to be sold online.

Open to all levels of experience.


Dates and Times:

6-8pm on Wednesdays

March 25, April 22, May 20, June 17, July 15, August 19.


Chloe de Lullington is an author and screenwriter based just outside Manchester, having grown up on the outskirts of pretty much everything else as well - which, as it turns out, makes for the most compelling stories! Drawn to the eccentric and the liminal, she's good at funny with a side of sad. Cacoethes is her first novel.


Tickets are £180 for the whole course. We do not offer partial tickets.

A limited number of bursary tickets are available for £150 for underrepresented writers or those on a low income. To book without Eventbrite fees, or to apply for a bursary discount, email George at [email protected]


PLEASE BE AWARE: If the minimum number of attendees is not reached by 1 month from the course start date, Comma Press may cancel, postpone or move the course online via Zoom. Should this occur attendees will be given the option of a refund or reserved spot on the course should it be rescheduled.
