I'm delighted to announce that I'll be doing an online event for the Curve Foundation next week, on Tuesday, Jan 16, at 5:00 PM PST. It's free, and you can join from anywhere in the world. Sign up here.
What is the Curve Foundation, you ask?
Launched in 1991 as Deneuve magazine, Curve has been America's best-selling lesbian magazine for nearly three decades. As Curve's 30th anniversary approached, founder Franco Stevens reimagined how Curve will serve lesbians and queer women in its next chapter. Her journey to this historic decision is captured in the documentary film Ahead of the Curve.
Franco, along with a dynamic Advisory Council, started The Curve Foundation to empower the Curve Community – lesbians, queer women, trans women, and non-binary people of all races, ages, and abilities. The Curve Foundation will spur active storytelling and cross-generational dialogue around the Curve Community by supporting journalism inspired by the tradition of Curve magazine, investing in the next generation of intersectional leaders, and bolstering existing community archives as a resource to ensure LGBTQ+ women's culture and history can be known.
The Curve Foundation
The interview initiative seems to be relatively recent. I know of two interviews so far, with Jewelle Gomez and Katherine V. Forrest—icons of lesbian fiction. So, wow, I'm honoured to be included.1 If you want to know what you might be getting into before you sign up, get a taste of Jewelle Gomez's conversation here. I think if you sign up but can't make the live event—I know the timing is awkward for folks in Europe—I think there'll be a recording you can access. But I'll check on that.
So if you've always wanted to know something about my work, about me, about writing queer fiction, and/or about Hild, this is a great opportunity to ask. Sign up here. It's free.
See you next week!
