Unlike our Tuesday Deals posts, there is no price ceiling - works can be more than $5.99
Details:
Celebrate pride month with stories often forgotten and erased. Your book will be featured on our blog and will be posted to our BlueSky account. You can submit as many books as you like. Unlike all our other events, the books MUST be Own Voices.
- Books don't have to be books. They can be serials, novellas, short stories, interactive fiction, visual novels, poetry chapbooks, microfiction, etc. It does not have to be available on Amazon.
- If it's ownvoices, you're good. No restrictions on fiction or non-fiction.
- The works submitted must not condone or endorse racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, acephobia, ableism, xenophobia, etc. The works can explore and examine those prejudices, but must not advocate for them.
- No fascists, no nazis.
Instructions:
- This promotion will be posted on June 30th
- Select the time slot - it's all the same time slot and I have it set up to take 10000 submissions so... If it fills up, I will be very happy.
- Fill out the form!
- The form asks for 5 retailer links. You don't need to provide 5! If you just want to provide one universal book link, that's fine. If you want to link to every serial site your web novel is on, that's fine! If you only want to link to Itch, Amazon, and Kobo, that's also fine! Also fine if you just want to link to your direct store. It's up to you!
- Please provide a link to somewhere I can download your cover. I like to display the cover as part of the listing and it makes it much easier if you provide a link. This can be from a cloud storage drive, an image sharing site like snap.as or even the link to the image on your own website! Thanks!
- Please use separate submissions for each of your books!
AI policy:
The use of large language models is prohibited for works promoted on QBW. The use of other technologies that use the "AI" marketing label but do not create content for you is allowed, such as speech-to-text assistive technologies that have been around for decades but use AI as a marketing label; features in Photoshop or Affinity that algorithmically make changes to the photo such as filters, cloning, or color swapping, etc; grammar and spelling checker features which have been around for years before LLMs became publicly available, etc. We recognize that there are many technologies, apps, and programs that many have been using since well before Chatgpt and Midjourney that aren't in anyway similar to those but decided they needed to add "AI" to their name. We don't get it either but 🤷
Who's running this, and how do I know you're not someone collecting info for nefarious purposes?
This site is run by Dax Murray, a non-binary author who has been publishing independently since 2017. You can find out more about Dax on their website. If you have previously booked a slot on QueerBooksWeekly and want your listing removed, simply email Dax at qbw@daxmurray.com and they will remove it.
