From manifesto to biography and from historical fiction to coming-of-age story, four authors of books centring on queer people discuss their work. Kenny Ethan Jones’ book Dear Cis(Gender) People is a powerful call to arms empowering cisgender people to be better allies. Wendy Moore’s Jack and Eve tells the real story of a jobbing actress who became Emmeline Pankhurst’s chauffeur and mechanic, and the daughter of a Scottish baron, who became public faces of the suffragette movement. Alana S Portero is a Spanish writer, poet and transgender activist whose novel Bad Habit explores coming of age in 1980s Spain, a place of vast social inequality but also one where social change was possible, and all moderated by Welsh lesbian writer Rachel Dawson whose novel, Neon Roses has been short-listed for Wales Book of The Year.
