As part of Queer History Club we are thrilled to welcome Elizabeth Lovatt to talk about her book, Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line.

Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line is a brilliantly original exploration of queer history based on call logs from a 90s lesbian phone helpline. With warmth and humour, Elizabeth Lovatt reimagines the women who both called and volunteered for the Lesbian Line in the 1990s, whilst also tracing her own journey from accidentally coming out to disastrous dates to finding her chosen family.

Elizabeth Lovatt is a writer of fiction and creative non-fiction currently living in London. In 2019 she was a writer-in-residence for Islington Pride and the ruckus! archive. In November 2020 she was accepted onto Penguin Books' #WriteNow mentorship scheme and has an MA in Creative and Critical Writing from Birkbeck.

Elizabeth will be in conversation with bookish type Nic, plus Elizabeth will also sign copies of her book which will be available to purchase at the event.
