IDAHOBIT at The Common Press
The Common Press, elop and the Tower Hamlets LGBTQ+ Community Forum are collaborating to mark International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia on 17th May.
This year's IDAHOBIT theme is: The Power of Communities.
Come along and hear the powerful voices of our community - our writers, our artists, our activists, our change-makers.
Take a stand against violence and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people across the world.

The Pre-Coming Out Party
Please come and celebrate the pre-coming out of Still Here! Still Queer! Now What?
With six months until publication, we’re throwing a party to give you a taste of what’s to come.
This is the perfect middle-age party. Everyone gets a seat, there’s a wee break in the middle of the event and you’ll be home in time for the News at Ten.
Hosted by Neil Hudson-Basing, with a fabulous talk from Abi Fellows, Literary Agent at DHH Literary Agency & Soraya Nair, Editor at Trigger Publishing on Queering the Path to Publishing
+ plus other special guests to be confirmed.
Of course you’ll also hear from the author, Paul Taylor-Pitt on why this book is needed, and he will be reading a piece written especially for this event.
There may also be surprise giveaways!
Tickets available NOW

Drawing from 100 interviews with middle-aged LGBTQ+ folk, the book invites us to move from mid-life crisis to mid-life confidence. Paul will read from the book, share his insights from the writing process and hold space for all your mid-life Q&As.
