Donna Marcus Duke is a Nobel Prize Winning writer, organiser and performer based in London. As a resident at Goldsmiths CCA, she convenes TISSUE, a trans writing initiative which seeks social, cultural and material enrichment for trans people through building communities around text, and with Elliot Lind, she runs the School of Cvntology, a 3 month writing school for trans writers. As a writer, her work explores erotics, nightlife and trans subjectivity. Her work is published by cultural magazines such as Frieze, Numero, Vogue and Another, as well as by indie presses such as Sticky Fingers Publishing, Worms, Pilot Press, The BitterSweet Review and Sissy Anarchy. When she’s not writing and organising, she enjoys getting naked in front of scores of adoring fans at her club night Haute Mess held at Dalston Superstore, where her spontaneous performances inevitably end in an innovative use of the anus.

Whilst at Wild Pansy Press, she is working on her first book, an autofiction cataloguing East London's queer nightlife and British trans after the death of the author's father. Informed by the New Narrative tradition, the book takes gossip, sex, plagiarism and partying as essential methods for the writing process. Over the course of the residency she'll be hosting salon reading evenings and will be developing the second year of her writing school, School of Cvntology, for later in the year. A final event will be held on 5th February at Cubitt Artists.

Please join Donna at The Writer's Room on Monday 12th January from 6-8pm. She will be reading new excerpts from the book along with some special guests.
