Join us for an evening of storytelling, queer joy, and community care as Penguin Random House Southeast Asia and Sing Lit Station present:
✨ Tender Tales – a panel and open mic night celebrating Southeast Asian queer writing in all its forms.
From fictional fruitiness to raw vulnerability, this is an event for those who find power in softness and pride in telling their truth.
Whether you’re here for the stories, the stage, or the mocktails — we’ve got something for you.
📖 Event Schedule
🕕 6:00 PM – Tender Tales
Three Southeast Asian authors come together in conversation with Penguin Random House SEA, diving into themes of queerness, identity, and fruity fiction.
🕖 7:00 PM – This Mic is Poly Too: A Very Open Mic
Grab the mic and share your own words — poetry, prose, song, or whatever feels true. Sign-ups will be available on-site, first come, first served.
🕗 8:00 PM – Mocktail Hour & Mingling
Wind down with mocktails inspired by local queer books, good conversation, and good people.
🏳️🌈 Who is this for?
Everyone! This is a safe, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ folks and allies to come together and celebrate queer literature, performance, and expression. Whether you’re a seasoned performer, a curious listener, or a bookish wallflower, you’re welcome here.
