Birmingham Literature Festival returns this Autumn with a line-up of literary events exploring a range of topics, themes, and genres. Among the bookish events programmed for 2027 are several that shine a spotlight on LGBTQ+ authors and queer stories.

BookKind is a new literary shop with a charitable heart, where 10% of every sale is donated to a good cause. Among their charitable partners is the LGBT Foundation; a charity that supports the health and wellbeing of LGBTQIA+ people.
