We've got LGBTQ authors, illustrators, and narrators from America, France, Canada, and all over the UK, and they're converging on the beautiful and freshly built Nottingham Central Library, Nottingham for a full day of amazing panels, talks, and sets plus lots and lots of laughter.There's so much for you to enjoy, and your ticket comes with any single book from the sales table on the day.

Welcome to our queer world with a deep dive into fictional reality, creativity, and memoir.

Queer the Shelves brings our community back together, and this festival is going to be epic.
