What else, What Else:

Finish your novel with us, start your screenplpay, celebrate transness and go to a westside book launch!

First up: this Sunday is TRANS JUNCTION: our first ever writer’s meetup! Socialize in one room, sit down and do some focused work in another up at the beautiful Moby’s coffeeshop in North Hollywood. Info here!

Second: Jun 20 (next Saturday) is trans pride! We will be hanging out saying hi in the resource fair, and there’s all kinds of other stuff including an outdoor pride DANCE! Info (and register for free tickets) here!

Third, From our community: Tyler Neufield is hosting a theatrical reading on June 26! “Experience an epic tale built of rhyme and full of dark magic, climate change, and chess allegories. The Sun Has Fallen, so Queen Ralenius must rally her army of ghosts, steal the sun back from King Beryn, and return it to the sky.”

See you all around, and love you!
