Queer erotica collections out now
Australian print-based queer publisher banQuetpress has released its latest anthologies of LGBTI short stories, poetry, art and photography.
The dual titles, A Feast of New Writing by Queer Men and A Feast of New Writing by Queer Women, collate the work of new, often previously unpublished queer writers and artists.
Established in 2009, banQuetpress’ first publication, banQuet 2010, was an anthology of art and writing by queer Australian women. In 2011, banQuet launched publications by both queer men and women.
BanQuet’s mission is to “create publishing opportunities for emerging and recently established queer Australian writers and artists and to provide Australian queer readers stories with a local flavour”.
Owned and operated by Laura Dettori and Deanne Carson and financially supported by the editors and queer community fundraising events, banQuetpress publishes anthologies, hosts spoken word performances and holds Writing Dirty Words workshops for authors.
The titles are available from Hares & Hyenas in Melbourne, The Bookshop in Sydney or online via the banQuetpress website.

Support the Star Observer… while you still can
LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.
