An evening to celebrate the launch of Lilac Peril Anthology, featuring authors published in the first issue.

About Lilac Peril:

Lilac Peril is a small DC-based publisher and literary journal aimed at compiling and disseminating diverse writing that centers local trans authors and poets. We are excited by writing that addresses areas of trans experience commonly missed by the literary status quo.

We are currently compiling one anthology per year featuring regional queer and trans writers. Additionally, we also print small paperback runs of works by writers and poets of interest to the community.

You can find us on Instagram @lilacperil or contact us at info@lilacperil.com!
