LGBTTQ Fiction: Passionate About Plot discussion

One of the reasons I set this group up was to help spread the word about the excellent stories that are sometimes a bit hard to place on review sites etc, when there's so much emphasis on sexual content.

This group's a start, but I thought I'd offer some help elsewhere on the net. I don't have a huge following anywhere but I'm very willing to host people on my blog or to conduct author interviews, chats or giveaways or any combination of the above. I'll also like/share FB posts or pages and do a bit of re/tweeting.

If you're on Facebook we have a mirror site there with the same name - http://www.facebook.com/groups/542921... - feel free to join that one too. :)

If anyone else can offer blog space or anything else it would be cool if you could reply to this post.

Cool, Elin. I'm always happy to host author interviews once or twice a month. I especially like to host newbie authors but it can be 'old warhorses' (or old battleaxes, like me!) too.

My blog is feeling a little neglected, y'all come on down!

I have a series that I touch on occasionally called "Early Literary Influences--Books That Shaped My Life." I've had fun writing posts for that and several other authors have as well. From books as simple as Bambi (inspired vegetarianism) to books that got you through your tough teenaged years, these post generally garner a lot of interest. What book had a profound influence on your formative years? Why not show it a little love with a post at Magnolias and Men?

If you just want to post some promo, that's fine too.

I don't have a huge following but get decent traffic for an unknown and would be happy to host any LGBTQ authors. Guest post, interviews, promo--whatever you'd like to do. All flavors & heat levels welcome.

I'd especially love to host other bi authors, or anyone promoting a story with bisexual characters. None of my bi fiction has seen the light of day, but hopefully that'll change eventually . . .

Is it also appropriate to solicit services in this thread? These do sound like fun, though - I think I'm too wee and new to be of any use in interviews, though.

I blog at smart girls love Scifi. I do interviews and we have book reviews too. We are willing to do LGBTQ fiction...rarely get any esp. The LBTQ end of the spectrum. We do SF and Paranormal romances; priority now goes to SFRomance cause its had for books to find venues.

Not inappropriate at all, but if someone has offered the service you require, it's probably quicker to message them rather than posting and hoping someone replies.

If you need something else, of course you may post abut it.

Excellent. Can I mention this on the Facebook group as well? We have a different bunch of members there some of whom write SFR.

Go ahead. We want to spread the word. The site has more details about how books are reviewed, what we accept and don't accept, how long it takes etc.
