Introducing the Gay Authors Workshop

Supporting LGBT writers

Gay Authors Workshop is an association of LGBT people who are creative writers - poets, dramatists, fiction and non-fiction writers. Our aim is to support writers by providing opportunities for them to meet, to read, to discuss and develop their work.

We hold monthly meetings at different places around London and the South East for that purpose. Some meetings are accessible to wheelchair users.

Although London-based, we are a national organisation and welcome members from all over the country. We give what help we can in enabling members to set up local branches of GAW. Our quarterly newsletter keeps members in touch.

GAW and Paradise Press are members of the LGBT Consortium.

Paradise Press

Paradise Press is GAW's own publishing house. It has published over 40 titles of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. More details at the Paradise Press website.
