Nowadays, it’s very difficult for new writers to get the word out about their books and for readers to find new authors.

So to help out new writers of books about women-loving women, I will feature a newbie author every month in my Facebook group for readers, and I will also list newbie authors to watch out for here on my website.

Authors: If you are a newbie author and would like me to include you on this list, send me an email, especially if you are an author of color. It doesn’t matter whether you are with a publisher or are an indie author, as long as you haven’t published more than 2 novels and your book has a women-loving woman as a protagonist.

Note: I define “newbie” author as someone who has written and published one or two books with a protagonist who’s a woman who loves women.
