Thank you all for your interest.
After a series of successful writing workshops, which among other things produced the anthology Flash Dances, Gay Authors Workshop in association with Homo Promos commenced its next series in January 2026.
Read MoreThe object is to stimulate creative ideas and encourage young and fledgling writers to put pen to paper. Writing can be fun, liberating and cathartic, and you can share the joy and trials of it with others who have the same interest.
We are aiming to produce a another anthology, Hot Flashes in 2026. Priority will be given to people who have come to the workshops, and the work they have created there.
Sign up for updates by contacting Homo Promos. We are also interested to read your work if you submit it.
