Monologues Against Confession Launch Party

A writers' collective built for queer and trans writers of color — a space to share work, build accountability, and find your people. Margin Scribes meets regularly to cultivate creativity through storytelling, feedback, and genuine community. Whether you're working on your first piece or your tenth, this is where your voice belongs.

Tuesday evenings at Hive Mind belong to writers who just want to write. No critiques, no pressure to share—just dedicated writing time in a space that gets it, surrounded by people working on their own stuff. Bring a project, a blank page, or just the need to put words down. Coffee and a quiet corner are waiting.

Rachel Karp celebrates the release of her new book with an evening of stories, community connection, and conversation about lesbian bar culture and history. This is the kind of intimate literary event that reminds you why independent bookstores matter — a chance to hear directly from the author, meet other people who care about preserving queer spaces, and support a project that honors a vital part of our community's past.

Test your knowledge of queer history and culture while celebrating the release of The Lesbian Bar Chronicles. Author Rachel Karp hosts this trivia night at Hive Mind, the neighborhood's go-to spot for books by and about queer and trans writers. A perfect excuse to dive into community, conversation, and maybe win a prize or two.

Monthly gathering for readers who want to dig into books by queer and trans writers—the kind of conversation that goes deeper than surface level. Meet fellow book lovers at Hive Mind, where the collection of LGBTQ+ literature is seriously impressive and the coffee is strong. New book each month, new perspectives every time.

Thursday mornings at Hive Mind belong to queer and trans writers looking for a low-pressure place to work alongside people who get it. Bring your laptop, your draft, your questions — the coffee's good, the vibe is genuinely welcoming, and you'll be surrounded by folks who understand the particular challenge of writing your own story.
