The Outrage: A Queer Writers’ Residency – Reading & Reception

The Outrage brings together 8 talented writers for a week-long residency at NACL. This year’s participants include C. Julian Jimenez, Hansol Jung, Jeffrey James Keyes, CQ Quintana, Marcus Scott, Aurin Squire, Kathleen Warnock, and Gein Wong. The brainchild of Yulan, NY resident C. Julian Jimenez, The Outrage was born out of a need to create space for Queer writers to just be—to write, share, and grow without having to justify or explain their Queerness. It’s not just a residency—it’s a haven. A space where bold ideas are celebrated, where feedback is rooted in care, and where writers are free to take risks. That’s when the real alchemy happens—when they’re given the room to dream wildly and write freely.
