Donating makes a real impact on the lives of our writers.

We don't want LGBTQ+ writers to be held back due to the lack of funding.
We aim to make all our events accessible for LGBTQ+ writers who could not otherwise afford to attend. Your donations are crucial to making this work.
​
For the first 5 months of UK Lockdown (April - Aug 2020), we took our events online and made them free to all writers as a way of showing solidarity with LGBTQ+ writers wherever they are.
​
However, though we have some funding from Arts Council England, since taking the decision to remain online until the end of 2020, we will have to charge a modest amount for some of our events; this enables us to pay the writers who plan, facilitate or guest at the events.
​
However, we offer concessionary tickets at all events and use your donations to further enable access.   
 
Whatever you donate will help us develop our support for emerging LGBTQ+ writers, increase our range of events and prepare for 2021.

How your donations help.

  • CASE STUDY

    Sal lives in a remote part of the country and writes poetry.
    ​
    The Out on the Page online events have helped them connect wit other writers for the first time, develop their writing and feel less isolated during these difficult times.
    ​
    Lockdown or not, Sal really wants the online events to continue if funds allow.

  • CASE STUDY

    Indomee, an independent, disabled LGBTQ+ journalist, also looking after her disabled child, wanting to build her networks.

  • CASE STUDY

    Aarav, committed to developing as a writer after graduating from university.
     
    Although he worked freelance as a translator and proofreader there was little financial stability at present whilst he sought more permanent work.
     
    The bursary not only helped him attend a day of writing networking and sharing information, it also demonstrated to him that there was a supportive LGBTQ+ and Allies community out there willing and able to support him
This is a fantastic opportunity to support emerging LGBTQ+ writers.

supporting emerging LGBTQ+ writers
Out on the Page was set up in 2018 as an experimental project to bring together LGBTQ+ writers to write, support each other and to share information and experience.
​
Since then, we have held one-writing retreats, workshops, groups and cafe casual meetings across England.  We have also set up an online writer directory and forum for emerging LGBTQ+ writers.
​
We have received Arts Council England funding for 2020 to sustain and develop our much-needed work, including online events.
