Happy Pride!
Saturdays are when we round up all the sapphic book news from the previous week into one convenient location. Think of it as your personal queer reading directory! After all, we know the weekend is when so many of us are able to unwind for a minute and want to get lost in a good wlw book. What could be better?
Countdown to TB & Miranda’s Epic GCLS Road Trip
In 6 days, TB and Miranda will be climbing into Pepper, TB’s car, at a ridiculously early hour to start their epic road trip for the Golden Crown Literary Society Conference in Denver. Over the past couple of years, TB has become a morning person, but Miranda isn’t. Not by a long shot. TB’s wondering how much grumbling Miranda will do those first few hours before her tea kicks in. Miranda’s wondering how much trouble TB will get them into and how many tits shirts TB will pack.
Want to follow along to find out? They’ll be sharing daily updates and photos with IHS Patreon peeps. For the road trip updates, it doesn’t matter what level of supporter you are. The posts will be available to all (but only Gold level will get postcards in the mail). If you haven’t signed up and want to be part of their epic road trip (and earn eternal gratitude by helping support IHS), click here to join them.
Authors: Super Deal on Summer Ad Bundle!
We know this time of year can be a bit slow for book sales, so why not try an ad to give your books an extra boost? Standard ads on IHS are usually $25 per ad, but if you order now, you can get 3 standard ads for just $30!
Here’s how it works:
- Buy a bundle of 3 ads
- Give us up to 3 books you would like to feature
- Give us a short tagline for each book
- We do the rest!
Your ads will run sometime between July 1 and September 30. Each ad will run for 4 weeks in a standard ad slot and includes one newsletter slot. Books MUST currently be available to purchase or preorder on Amazon.
This is a fantastic way to promote your backlist at a real bargain. In fact, we find that older books that have not had recent exposure tend to do very well with IHS ads.
July 24-26 Christmas in July Free Promotion
We’re organizing a free book event in July. Authors can submit 2 books per pen name and they must be free on Amazon. (Note: this doesn’t mean just “free via Kindle Unlimited”, which isn’t free since it’s a paid subscription service.)
If you want to participate, click here to submit your books.
Last day to submit is Sunday, July 16.

Meet Valentino! He was abandoned and roamed our neighborhood for a year before a snowstorm trapped him in our garage. We rescued him, got him his shots, toys, and plenty of love! Submitted by SAM, a reader.
