dif
co-producing misfit gay lit and other queer shit​
​​
getting ideas off the ground , collaborating, partying, experimenting, reading, thinking, getting stuff done and out there.
​
we're here for writers and artists somehow involved with words who are producing great stuff, possibly important stuff, that's probably always going to be passed on by the more commercial ends of the industry. you know, 'its too this' or 'too that'.
we're also here to connect with readers and audiences - we want you involved - help produce the stuff you really want
​
you may not identify as LGBTQ+ but you feel you belong here - if you feel it - you're probably right - you are welcome
​​​
we're probably too anarchic to stick to a manifesto but here's some ideas that came out of our network hangouts earlier this year.
​
​proto ​manifesto
coproduce
do it ourselves
​writers readers artists allowed to dream the impossible
paint it up - type it out - do it by hand - by mouth - touch it
orientation disorientation
genre- free
catalyse
writer-artist led
loved-up on books
queer writers are different - queer writing is different
collaborate
experiment along the edge
rough is a style
join us inside the outside
controverse transgress intersect
voices of the fucked over
overlooked by the mainstream
break boundaries of language and geography
wherever the words land
hangouts hotspots studios
readers up close and personal
countercult subculture
dirty like homobloc
scratch and sample
trying to build utopias has to be done - the future takes us beyond the present
