Welcome to GLBT Bookshelf

What's new on the Bookshelf right now? | Current newsletter | Download the User's Guide

We're a new 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!

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.

Featured Titles

Let us Tweet your new book release...

Here's a new free service you might not have heard about, unless you're on our mailing list. We'll Tweet your new book release, on or about the day the title is issued! We prefer the link to point to a page on the Bookshelf, for obvious reasons ... we announce your new book, and it brings readers to us. They can buy the new title right off your page, and while they're here they might easily discover a couple of new writers and several old favorits. So, when you have a new title coming along, drop us a line and let us Tweet it for you. Don't have a wiki account? Join up ... it's free, and it's a lot of fun!
