Queer Your eReader
What is Queer Your eReader?
Queer Your eReader is a free book blast event that takes place over 24 hours, where participating authors will share their books for free for readers. We hosted our first event in January 2025, and enjoyed it so much we thought we’d keep it going! Please read on to find out more information for authors and readers. If you would like to be kept up to date with future and similar events, please subscribe to our Substack
Next Event: 20th September, 2025
For Authors
The form will confirm if all slots for a particular genre have been filled. If you submit before the genre is filled but don’t get in, we will prioritise you if we host the event again.
Please read the form carefully and fill it in as completely as possible so we can ensure we have the best information to make this a success!
The genres included are -
Horror
Fantasy
Sci-Fi
Mystery/Thriller
Romance
For age ranges, we are accepting YA - Adult
We also encourage cross-genre works, but these must be submitted under one ‘main’ genre! Please consider the audience when answering this - for example, if your book is Fantasy Romance, is the stronger focus on the fantasy, or the romance? Does it have a HEA (or does the series end with a HEA, if applicable)? If it’s a Fantasy Horror/Horror Fantasy, does it lean more into one or the other? Which is the strongest element?
You can also select subgenres to be included, but we recommend keeping this at 2 - 3 at most.
By completing the form and agreeing to take part, you are agreeing to offer your book for free for at least 24 hours, over 20th September, 2025 in as many territories as possible. Please ensure you provide universal purchase links or a link to a site where purchase links are listed for your book (such as Books2Read, for example). We want to make it as easy as possible for readers to access your book.
We will not ask authors to disclose any aspect of their identity to take part. We are interested in the representation included in the book, so we can ensure we have as wide a mix as possible in the books on offer.
We would ask if you sign up for the event and are accepted, you help us in spreading the word - please feel free to share with your fellow writers, and help us publicise the event in the leadup so we can reach as many folks as possible. It would be great if you could share this in newsletters and on social media platforms.
Please find the form here.
IMPORTANT: The form will close on 15th August, 2025.
