Ellen Jones Author Talk: Outrage

Outrage: Why the Fight for LGBTQ+ Equality Is Not Yet Won and What You Can Do About It'  

Celebrate the 2026 paperback release of Outrage with an in-person author talk with Ellen Jones. Since its hardback release, Outrage has travelled into classrooms, book clubs, protests, workplaces, community spaces, and late-night conversations about what LGBTQ+ equality really means - and why the fight is far from over. The paperback edition makes Outrage more accessible, more shareable, and more portable but more importantly it looks as some of the political events of the last year - from the Supreme Court Ruling to Trump's presidency - and its impact on LGBTQ+ people. 
This is Ellen's first time bringing her book tour to Southampton!
