We're a large and growing Community of writers, artists, publishers, reviewers and readers ... with a difference. We're a GLBT Community, where the emphasis is on gay books. If you enjoy a great gay read, this is the place for you ... with around 1400 members as we rapidly approach the end of our second year online, we're going places -- and you're invited along! Many other writers' and publishers' Communities are thriving on the web, but you could easily feel like the odd one out, among the children's fiction, mainstream romance and self-improvement volumes. So many online writers' communities have a specific category for Gay and Lesbian works, into which we're firmly separated out. Historical, SF, military, crime, Western -- no matter the real genre of the books, if they feature gay characters or interests -- they're gay. Not here. This is GLBT Bookshelf. The goal of this Community is to support our publishing industry, encourage writers, reach and intrigue readers, foster sales, build careers -- not just in writing and publishing, but specifically in GLBT writing and publishing. Feature interviews: Red Haircrow talks to Mel Keegan about the art and business of writing, gay books, indie publishing, and a whole lot more. And, Lichen Craig of Our Story talks to Mel about the future of gay publishing. Featured Titles
