Join local author Rachel Dawson in conversation with Queer Book Club Swansea on Neon Roses and more! With readings, Q&A and book signings.
Nofela CIC is thrilled to host 'Swansea girl,' published author and Common/Wealth communications associate Rachel Dawson, and Queer Book Club Swansea, to discuss Rachel's debut novel Neon Roses, her other writing, such as in Folding Rock and Unreal Sex, publishing in general and whatever else (in reason) you want to talk to her about!
Neon Roses is a novel about Eluned, a young woman in the South Wales Valleys during the 1984 Miners' Strike who meets LGSM (Lesbians & Gays Support the Miners). Rachel Dawson has also written about Swansea's High Street for Folding Rock (Issue 001: Roots) and has a short Welsh ghost story in the 'Unreal Sex' anthology.
The event will be facilitated by Mair Jones and Queer Book Club Swansea, with other Nofela CIC directors and volunteers selling books and other LGBTQ+ merch, in a collaborative event and in casual conversation - which everybody is welcome to!
Copies of Neon Roses, Unreal Sex and more new, classic and second-hand LGBTQ+ books and other LGBTQ+ merch will be on sale!
This will be the last day of Nofela's artist residency at Urban HQ so this will also be your last change to visit us there.
We are grateful that this event is supported by Literature Wales' Inspiring Communities Fund.
Free and pay-what-you-can tickets are available, or just show up on the day!
