On the ‘discoverability’ of diverse books

Queer Sci Fi and Fantasy

It’s up, it’s up! My article: “On the Discoverability of Diverse Books” is up at Queer Sci Fi and Fantasy!

A brief preview: Lots of readers and publishing industry players say they crave books about LGBT characters who happen to be gay, but how do you market those books? If there’s no major romance storyline or coming out storyline, how will fans of LGBT fiction know it’s a story about LGBT people from the back cover blurb? How will they know from the cover? Small presses publish a lot of these kinds of books, but with limited resources, they often can’t do much to help authors in that regard.

Sound worth checking out? I hope you will. You can read the article and discussion here.
