I Heart SapphFic is Celebrating Pride

Jun 1, 2023 | IHS Special Event

Happy Pride! Did you know TB loves rainbows?

She really, really does. And she’s on a mission to have more rainbows in the world. Keep reading to the end to find out all about the new IHS Patreon!

SAPPHIC TRAILBLAZERS

She also loves history and women’s empowerment, hence why IHS will be featuring a Sapphic Trailblazer every day in June. Whether it’ll be a historical figure or a contemporary, we want to celebrate and honor people who have impacted women’s rights and the LGBTQ+ community.

Find the Sapphic Trailblazers here.

We have a list of trailblazers we plan to feature, but if you have suggestions, please email us at tbm@iheartlesfic.com and let us know. We want this to be a running feature on IHS going forward, not just during Pride.

PRIDE MONTH TRIVIA

To celebrate Pride Month, Jae put together a fun month-long event for readers of sapphic books.

Test your knowledge of sapphic fiction and win free books, enter giveaways, and get discounted books.

TB loves trivia and she can’t wait for each question every day this month. She’s already answered the first challenge and got it right! She’s feeling pretty good about that and now is wondering how long she can keep her streak going.

Sign up to get an email reminder when a new trivia question is available for you to answer so you won’t miss any of the giveaways, discounted books, and free books.

You won’t be signed up to any newsletter or get any other emails.

10 BEST PLACES TO FIND SAPPHIC BOOKS

Usually during Pride Month, peeps share their LGBTQ+ reading suggestions, which is fantastic. We need to combat all the hate in the world.

Unfortunately, the same books get featured over and over.

This is why Jae put together a list for places to find sapphic books.

We’re honored that I Heart SapphFic is on the list. There are many other wonderful places on the list as well so check them out. All of us need to band together.

Check out the list here.

THE I HEART SAPPHFIC PRIDE COLLECTION

Last year, Miranda and I organized a Pride Collection. It was an amazing experience to work with so many fantabulous sapphic authors.

Celebrate love with this collection of delightfully lighthearted romances from some of the most popular authors of sapphic fiction today!

WE HAVE A PATREON

Miranda and I had started talking about Patreon last summer, while sitting by a pool in New Mexico when we were at GCLS. After investing in the new I Heart SapphFic, we realized we really needed to look for more ways to help us keep the lights on.

You can find it right here.

There are 3 levels, ranging from $3 to $25.

Each level will get a funny story by TB.

Depending on the level, Patreon peeps will get behind the scenes stories about TB & Miranda travels, postcards from the road, silly photos of us, and a holiday card in December.

Our first big road trip is coming up soon. We’re driving from Massachusetts to Denver for this year’s Golden Crown Literary Society Conference. During this trip, we plan to share more behind the scene deets, including photos from the conference, which will be exclusive to Patreon supporters. Don’t wait. Sign up now.

Happy Pride peeps!

Miranda & TB
