‘In this space nothing else exists, we are invisible and filled with our significance. I am an expanse of existence melding into yours, unbound by language or physicality and it makes us free.’ – Mel Reeve, ‘Shapeshifter’

Writing Our Space is a collection of personal essays, short stories, poems, and scripts written by members of the LGBTQ+ community across the UK. This collection spans from heartbreak on buses to loving our childhood selves; from tiger print skirts to reflections on a HIV diagnosis. This insight into modern queerness speaks to our love, our grief, and our resilience, as both individuals and a community. To the LGBTQ+ community, from the LGBTQ+ community – in our own words.
