Flash Dances
After five writing workshops, which among other things produced the anthology Flash Dances, Gay Authors Workshop in association with Homo Promos will be commencing its next series in September 2025.
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 second anthology in 2025, using Crowdfunding and grants. Priority will be given to people who have come to the workshops, and the work they have created there.
We may also be able to offer prizes like we did last year. Watch this space.
Better still, sign up for updates by contacting Homo Promos. We are also interested to read your work if you submit it.

Gay Authors Workshop presents SHIFT_
Moments of Transition, Exploration, and Discovery
The SHIFT_ anthology project has made real progress. We are now closed to new submissions.
The next stage is to finalise the text. We shall be contacting all contributors to let them know exactly what we are using, to ask them to approve the layout of their pieces, and for a biography (max 50 words).
We shall also be deciding on blurb, cover design and a fresh title for the anthology. So watch this space, and thank you to everyone who has helped, contributed and been patient.
