Ace Book Club Stories

If you’d like to find out more about what the book club means to our members and hear in their own words what it’s like to have a safe space for discussion of aro and ace representation and themes, you can explore the wonderful Ace Book Club Stories project that one of our members, Sarah Sharp, has created!

 

 

Sarah interviewed a number of group members to find out what the book club means to them, and why spaces like this one are so valuable to the ace community – click below to find out more.
