Publishers Weekly:Still Here, Still Queer: LGBTQ Books 2020

This article examines some small presses that publish LGBTQ books and how their missions and focus have evolved over time and continue to be integral to queer publishing.
Some quotes from the piece that help sum it up:
“While all presses focused on LGBTQ or marginalized communities share a mission of increasing representation, they differ in terms of how specific or how aggressively political that mission is and, by extension, what kinds of books they take on.”
“The act of publishing LGBTQ narratives by itself might no longer be outré, but these publishers, both established and new, all have unique readerships, their own relationships with independent bookstores and libraries, and a continued appetite for boundary-pushing books.”
