All of this amazing queer lit has made me hungry for more queer books from indie presses. There is so much out there to discover! Indie presses are doing such important work: publishing queer books in translation, books that push the boundaries of genre, radical works of fiction and nonfiction that change the way I think about storytelling. I am so grateful that these publishers exist, that they are uplifting the voices of so many queer writers and bringing so many different kinds of queer stories into the world. These ten upcoming indie press books are just ten of the many I can’t wait to get my hands on. This list reflects my personal interests, so it’s heavily weighted toward contemporary fiction and hybrid nonfiction. But no matter what kind of queer book you’re craving, I guarantee you’ll find something here to fall in love with. These ten books are a great representation of just how varied queer lit from indie presses is. Looking for even more books from indie presses?
