Auckland Queer Writers Anthology

Well team, we made it! It's all thanks to your amazing and kind support.

I want to let you know what happens next, though I will also send a reminder closer to launch itself.

RIght now, our cover artist is deep in the design process, and our editor is working with our writers to get these pieces polished.

Next, we're going to format it all together, whilst continuing to put out the word about the launch.

After that comes the printing and distribution. We'll also be canvassing Pride events in February with a promotional bookmark so that we can boost awareness of the book in a cost-effective and eye-catching way.

Speaking of the launch, don't forget to book your free ticket here for the launch party! It's going to be really fun, with free kai, live readings, and physical books available for purchase and signing. As someone who has put their money where their mouth is for us, you definitely deserve to come and party with us: https://events.humanitix.com/aqwa-book-launch

When I update you in February, it should be with a link to share around for yourselves or anyone else who wants to purchase the book, where all proceeds will go to OutLine Aotearoa.

If you have any questions at all about any of what comes next, me and the other organisers are easy to reach over on our instagram pages
