Part literary salon, part community circle, Queer Visitors blends literature, drag, and chosen family in joyful, genre-bending ways. Beginning Fall 2025, the program will feature seasonal book picks, virtual author events, themed drag programming, and partnerships with libraries, bookstores, and cultural institutions across the country.

The program’s name, Queer Visitors, is a nod to L. Frank Baum’s 1904 comic strip, Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz—a historical artifact where “queer” meant magical, marvelous, and different. Today, that spirit lives on in the community reclaiming Oz as a place where outsiders become heroes and self-discovery is the real magic.
