About the event

Letters to my younger queer self: Daniel Harding (Lighthouse)
All Book Fringe events are FREE in person + online | no tickets required (but you can reserve them here to get a book/reminder of the event & help us have enough seats for everyone)

With letters from queer people in music, television, theatre and politics, the wide and beautiful queer spectrum is recreated in this inspiring resource for anyone who has ever struggled with growing up different.
If you could write a letter to your younger queer self, what would you say? What advice would you share? And what would you have really wanted, or needed, to hear?

This heartfelt collection of letters is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a powerful reminder that love transcends all.

Contributors include comedian Suzi Ruffell, concert pianist Cyrill Ibrahim, Nadia Whittome MP, Olympic gymnast Andrew Stamp,

This is Daniel's second book, following his previously published Gay Man Talking: All The Conversations We Never Had, a wise, witty and empowering exploration of modern gay relationships. He regularly writes about LGBTQIA+ issues and his writing has appeared in Attitude, Gay Times, Cosmopolitan, The Mirror and London Economic.
