The Trans Book Festival is a day to celebrate the talents, courage and creativity of trans and gender diverse authors. Since the so-called transgender tipping point in the late 2010s, there’s been an explosion of books written by trans and gender diverse people here on this continent and around the world. The Trans Book Festival will take a moment to honour our communities’ achievements across memoir, poetry, fiction and non-fiction and foster a critical dialogue on diversity within Australian publishing. With an all-star line-up from across so-called Australia including Alison Evans, Clare O’Hanlon, Dylin Hardcastle, Erin Riley, Ernest Price, Hasib Hourani, Jasper Peach, Kaya Wilson, Kris Kneen, Liz Sutherland, Madison Moffat, Michael Earp, Mx Sly, Nevo Zisin, Noah Riseman, Orlando Silver, P.Eldridge of Sissy Anarchy (UK), Quinn Eades, Sam Elkin, Shelley Parker-Chan, Son Vivienne, Yves Rees + many more to be announced, the Trans Book Festival will be an unforgettable day for both LGBTIQA+ and literary Melbourne.
