🕑 Added 2025-09-22 08:00:07 +0000 UTCThis month, Tuck chats with Denne Michele Norris about her new books, When the Harvest Comes and Both/And. Topics include:
Is this year’s trans lit boom just a publishing blip?
Transitioning alongside your novel’s protagonist
Editing stories of trans trauma without re-traumatizing the author
If time isn’t linear, is it possible to deadname a fictional character? 🤯
Why selling a novel was as emotionally destabilizing as losing a parent
What do we owe the first person to recognize us as trans?
Why is viola the most trans instrument??
And more!

In Central CT (a not terrible train ride from NYC) we have Middletown Pride who has pretty decent funding for events and is always looking for new ideas. They had a queer author event last year with Wesleyan at RJ Julia bookstore. We also have Q+, an youth LGBT org who is trying out new fundraisers and would likely be able to do a joint ticketed promotion event

Not a very original idea, but Loudmouth Books in Indianapolis would be a great bookstore to have an event with.

Hello I am a bookseller and transsexual in london and wondered if girl dad press has UK distro? public knowledge books are a gorgéous distributor who work with a lot of independent publishers internationally including people like almanac press (run out of trans library helsinki). And importantly it’s v easy for bookshops to get books thru them !!
