Les mer The Queer & Trans Nonfiction Podcast

The QT (Queer & Trans) Nonfiction Podcast, hosted by writer Jackie Domenus, explores the best of today’s memoirs, essay collections, journalism, and more by LGBTQ+ authors. Listen in on discussions of nonfiction forms, craft, language, publication, and beyond. Some fiction and poetry QTs, as well as supportive allies, will be sprinkled in throughout! Reading and sharing true stories from queer and trans perspectives feels more important now than ever. Our words are proof of our existence, which is now, in and of itself, a form of resistance.
