Trip has already doubled his funding goal and smashed through his first stretch goal, and we couldn't be prouder! Now let's get to those audiobooks!! Back the campaign, spread the word!!

I stg if you want to see books like this in your local bookshop, the absolute best way to make it happen is to buy the fuck out of them when they're indie, because publishers only sign what they think will sell and won't take chances without data.

Back this project. Provide that data!

Oooooooh look at this!!!

Ummm those comps are EVERYTHING!! I will always shout about the need for more queer epic fantasy.

Can't wait to support this and I encourage all of you to do so as well!

🤟🤟🤟

I have interviewed @trip.bsky.social to discuss his writing, his publising imprint @bonabooks.bsky.social and his new Kickstarter for upcoming novel The Fall of The House of Valenziaga that you should definitely check out! 🙂

It's your chance to support our very own Trip Galey's brand-new queer AF post-apocalyptic science-fantasy novel set in a world full of drag balls, weird science, magic, and...GASP!...Polari!!

We can't wait to see how this turns out.🧐

Had a blast chatting with @rdpires.bsky.social about our Kickstarters! It MAY get slightly unhinged in places.

Have a look!

Look, its on our ToDo List...we just need to survive the current conflagration of health and housing crises 😅

A new Trip Galey book?! We're listening! 😁

OFC! 💙

If you need MOAR queer SFF short fiction while we finish WRATH MONTH you should definitely check this project out!

Its live now on Kickstarter!

A 2-panel meme using images from Rocky Horror Picture Show, with Rocky and Frank on the left, and Janet and Brad on the right. The top image has labelled Janet and Brad as [“those” cishet readers] and has text along the bottom reading “Well, I don’t like [books] with [characters I can’t relate to…]” while the bottom image has Frank labelled as [queer authors] and text along the bottom reading “I didn’t [write it] for you!”

Fantabulosa! submissions close tomorrow! Check the submissions page for details!

Thank you to everyone who submitted so far! We're loving it! We are slowly working through the slush pile, and its a privilege.

Twink obliteration - pairs brilliantly with coffee, a crisp sauvignon blanc, or schadenfreude.

THIS SATURDAY.

The Cymera Writers' Conference is a fucking brilliant event, and the writer folks amongst you should absolutely consider going, even if it's not to listen to Chris & Trip.

...although you SHOULD listen to Chris & Trip. Cause they're great. 💙

This weekend!

👇 🧱 🤘

First: queer books.

Next: 100 YEARS OF QUEER HEGEMONY!

Do you write genre fiction? Want the inside scoop on the UK's newest queer small press? Keen to ask us awkward questions?

Come to the Cymera Writer's Conference, and hear two bona omi-palones cackle about zhushing books.

We'll be chatting with indie publisher Bona Books about their journey from reader/writer to setting up a publishing house.

@bonabooks.bsky.social was founded by 3 book-obsessed friends to produce high-quality, subversive & unapologetically queer SFFH books.
