OUTrageous Voices is a vibrant, fully inclusive. intersectional, southeastern, lesbian, (bi, trans. & queer inclusive) women's writing conference. OUTrageous Voices is an inclusive conference for lesbian writers and others who identify differently but know they belong at a lesbian writing conference. For OUTrageous Voices, the words "queer," "lesbian," and "women" are used as umbrella terms; we fully support and respect self-identification.
Twice yearly, we come together in Georgia, about an hour south of Atlanta, for workshops, storytelling, writing, performing, and spoken word. Other activities we enjoy include hiking, board games, and more. Swimming will be available at our Spring 2024 conference.
Stay tuned for more information!

It inspires me to be out of my element, among the elements, and with people willing and vulnerable enough to do the same using the most important thing we have in common; words.
