We’ve loved celebrating Pride Month with you this June! 

But just because the month is coming to an end doesn’t mean that the celebrations have to stop. (It’s also worth noting that we celebrate Pride in June because our organization is based in the U.S., but many other countries’ Pride celebrations occur in other months.) 

We’ve compiled this (incomplete) list of authors we’ve partnered with—including NaNo Coaches, Camp Counselors, and Pep Talkers—who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community and/or feature LGBTQ+ characters in their novels. If you’d like to support these authors, buy a copy of their latest book (or check out the e-book from your library). Links to the authors’ websites below.

We’re also supporting the LGBTQ+ authors in the NaNoWriMo community year-round with a brand new private forum group specifically for LGBTQ+ writers!
