Queerstories

Tropical island getaways are not for the faint hearted, and travelling alone can awaken some of the ugliest spiritual epiphanies, as Bobuq learnt on an Eat, Pray, Love inspired trip to Hawaii at the age of 20. Bobuq Sayed is a writer, multi-disciplinary artist, queer youth worker and community organiser of the Afghan diaspora. They have co-edited Archer Magazine in the past, and they are the co-editor of un Magazine's forthcoming issues 13.1 and 13.2. Their work has appeared in Kill Your Darlings, Black Girl Dangerous, Overland, The Lifted Brow, ACMI, Peril and VICE. Queerstories is an LGBTQI+ storytelling night programmed by Maeve Marsden, with regular events around Australia.

The Queerstories book is published by Hachette Australia, and can be purchased from your favourite independent bookseller or on Booktopia.
