QLiterati! is dedicated to promoting established local LGBTQ authors;
while also attracting the occasional literary superstar and

Last month's premier event attracted an engaged crowd who enjoyed
free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, fabulous door prizes and
cookies awarded to audience members who posed ask questions to the

culinary secrets were granted cookie privileges.  All this and more
for the reasonable price of FREE--although donations are welcome.
