New event: Queer Company

Reading, writing and publishing are fulfilling occupations in themselves, but we also feel very lucky to be working in this particular genre – not least because of the wonderful sense of community. To celebrate our excellent friendships – and in the hope of making even more – Manifold Press is delighted to be hosting a new UK-based event.

Queer Company will be a small, friendly gathering designed to engage and inspire. This one-day event is planned for Saturday 9 May 2015 at The Jam Factory in Oxford.

We hope this gathering will be the first of many, with annual events complementing the wonderful work done by UK Gay Romance and UK Meet.

The timing this year coincides with Manifold Press’s fifth anniversary – we’re proud and rather astonished to reflect that our first titles were released on 1 May 2010. We will also be taking the opportunity to formally launch our new anthology A Pride of Poppies, featuring modern GLBTQI fiction of the Great War, all the proceeds of which will be donated to charity.

If you’d like to join us…

There is more detailed information available on the Manifold Events website.

Registrations will open at 12.00 midday on Sunday 22 February.

Please note that, due to the nature of the event, we can accommodate no more than 50 people attending. We hope there won’t be too many of you disappointed, but we are expecting the registrations to be filled quite quickly. We will maintain a waiting list if necessary.

Thank you for your interest. We’re looking forward to enjoying your company!
