THE LAST KISS · COMMUNITY EVENTS

Bring The Last Kiss to Your City

Help us bring poetry, conversation and Iranian culture to your community.

Whether you have a great idea, a local connection or just want to be part of something, we'd love to hear from you.

How would you like to take part?

You can take part in more than one way. Each option has its own short form, and nothing here commits you to an event.

A little more about how it works

Working together to make events happen

Sic Publishing covers Mehdi Mousavi's speaker fee and will do everything we reasonably can to help with organisation and promotion. We particularly welcome bookshops, universities, libraries and local groups. Linking events in neighbouring cities can make an international visit more affordable, but you don't need to have everything arranged before getting in touch.

Thanking our local supporters

Where local arrangements allow, we hope to offer complimentary or priority admission, reserved seats at the front, half-price books purchased directly from Sic Publishing, and invitations to any after-parties or informal gatherings.

Fair treatment for musicians, artists and others

We don't believe people should work for exposure alone. When an event generates income or receives funding, we aim to remunerate contributors fairly on the same basis as Mehdi and other participants, with the details agreed beforehand. At events without a budget, involvement is entirely voluntary; where practical, we can also support contributors by helping them sell or promote their music, art, food or other work.

Your privacy

Sic Publishing uses the details you submit to respond to your idea, contact you about possible events near you and send occasional updates relevant to how you take part. This is not a general mailing list. Personal contact fields are encrypted and held in private storage; access is limited to the authorised administrator. We do not publish your involvement without permission. We periodically review whether contact details are still needed. Every new registration receives a personal removal link, and you may also ask us to remove your information at any time. Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information.
