ALL PRIDE, NO PREJUDICE! A Literary LGBTQ+ Celebration

Get ready for the ultimate literary Pride celebration—the year’s most fabulous book fair. Join us as we come together in joy, pride, and affirmation to celebrate LGBTQ+ voices in literature. Now in our fourth year, this event is bigger, bolder, and queerer than ever.

• ✨ Hear electrifying new work read live by the brilliant people who wrote them.
• 🌈 Mingle with a vibrant community of readers, writers, and creators.
• 💥 Discover fresh stories that challenge, uplift, and inspire.

Whether you’re a lifelong book lover or just here for queer joy, this is the can’t-miss literary party of the season with co-hosts John Manuel Arias (Where There Was Fire) and Isle McElroy (People Collide) alongside this year’s incredible lineup of featured authors:

• Lydi Conklin (Songs of No Provenance)
• Emma Copley Eisenberg (Housemates)
• Rob Franklin (Great Black Hope)
• Dylin Hardcastle (A Language of Limbs)
• Roya Marsh (savings time)
• Phil Melanson (Florenzer)
• Lori Ostlund (Are You Happy?)
• Jonathan Parks-Ramage (It’s Not the End of the World)
• Erica Peplin (Work Nights)
• Marie Rutkoski (Ordinary Love)
• Joe Westmoreland (Tramps Like Us)

Join us for music, fun drinks, and, of course, books. It’s a party in two parts. Part 1: Short readings from the juiciest excerpts by five of the evening’s writers, followed by book signings and mingling. Part 2: Repeat for the next five writers, including an unforgettable close by the incomparable Roya Marsh.
