This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo post is another special one. It features a list of sapphic authors who are either new authors or might be new to you.

For the purpose of the Sapphic Book Bingo, “new author” means any author who has published no more than two full-length novels (not counting shorter works such as short stories and novellas).

Below, you’ll find a list of 120 new sapphic authors, plus 220 authors who aren’t recommended as often, so they might be new to you.
