Author/Publisher FAQs
-
It’s hard to promote LGBTQ+ books because everyone wants to put us in one category. This is disadvantageous to authors, especially authors in genres and niches with smaller readers, who find it hard to stand out in broad “LGBTQ+” categories available through many promotional outlets.
Pride & Pages helps authors and readers find each other by sending newsletters tailored to specific genres and categories of books. Our lists are hyper-targeted, so you are only promoting to readers looking for books exactly like yours.

Promoting LGBTQ+ Books in 2025
Queer content is often suppressed and accounts shadow-banned by social media algorithms, and more and more authors are reporting that their organic reach is diminished, especially when promoting queer books with specific keywords like "trans” or “sapphic”.
More and more readers are turning to newsletters for book deals and recommendations. Our community is made of readers who are specifically seeking queer books in all genres created without generative AI. Our LGBTQ+ book newsletter promotions for authors help your book find its perfect audience without relying on algorithms to do the heavy lifting.
