Happy Pride, everybody!

I'd like to use this account to boost queer books by queer writers that are on sale this pride month. So, please use the hashtag #PrideMonthBookSale and let me reshare posts about your awesome LGBTQ+ books!

Bring me your own-voices same-sex romance, your trans slice-of-life drama, your asexual detective mystery, your every-flavor-of-the-rainbow ensemble cast heist story, etc, etc, etc!

Happy Pride! In celebration of Pride and the one year anniversary of The Harmony of Falling Snow's publication, I've lowered the 138k word novel's price to 3.99 on both itch and Ko-fi.

If a mostly-cozy polyamorous romance in a modern queernormative elven world appeals to you, the first 3 chapters and purchase links are at https://andybrokaw.com/harmony

“I want my writing to be this oasis, this thing that’s just for me”

Douglas Stuart talks about his new novel, JOHN OF JOHN. He discusses the book’s origins, the communities & landscapes that shape his characters, & why he continues to write about the kind of people mainstream British fiction so often overlooks

Schön, dass es zum 100. Geburtstag 🎂 ein Kinderfest und eine Fachkonferenz zu James Krüss bei der internationalen Jugendbibliothek (IJB) 📚 in München gibt. Schade aber, dass die Queerness des Autors hier keine Rolle zu spielen scheint. Hat sie dessen Schreiben, die Geschichten, die Figuren doch geprägt.
Und, diese Sichtbarkeit wäre gerade dür die queeren Kids so wichtig!

Thinking about sending in that Pride Month submission? Wonder what you can and can’t include? What you should or shouldn’t include?
Here are the rules. (Okay, guidelines, grumbles our chief editor, who doesn’t like to call them rules even though they look like rules to me.)

Last Sunday, in a celebration conducted over Zoom, October Project announced the winners of their annual poetry contest. I'm thrilled to say that my poem "Trefoil," in which I ponder a stalk of clover and the world's religions, snagged an honorable mention.

What happens if I support the Project Tasman BackerKit project at a level where I get all 3 art prints. What will I get?

Dear reader. Today is the day I have all three. Left to right by floramisu.bsky.social ardentgrove.bsky.social and beanieworks.bsky.social

Reading is fun. That’s why you’re here, right?
So then imagine writing for Medium’s premiere #LGBTQ+ publication, and having your work published to a reach of 27,000 subscribers!
We write about LGBTQ+ topics, but you don’t have to be LGBTQ+ yourself. Maybe your children, siblings, or best friends have a tale to tell, or an experience to share with the world and you are best positioned to tell it.

Last week, Moonstone Arts Center held their celebration of poets who were featured readers at the Fergie's Pub series in Philadelphia. This included two readings, one online, the other at the Free Library in Philadelphia.

Work from the featured readers has been collected into an anthology, available on their web site:
https://moonstone-arts-center.square.site/product/featured-poets-2025/QOL35PBJLN3FZ6TUFNQ2TJJX?cs=true&cst=custom. My poem, "Sunrise at Night," appears on page 37.
