Make an
impact this June
Support Pride & Pages book newsletters and LGBTQ+ authors with a Pride Month sponsorship today!
Goal: $5000
Hitting this goal would make every newsletter promotion FREE for LGBTQ+ authors for the entire month of June 2025 while keeping an ad-free experience for readers.
Funds raised will be used to support ongoing operational costs for Pride & Pages Book Club. Funds raised in excess of the goal will be used to support LGBTQ+ authors with cost-free book promotional opportunities throughout the calendar year.
Why sponsor?
-
Support a Queer-Owned Business
Your sponsorship helps support a queer-owned micro-business (Pride & Pages Book Club) in its first year of operation and offset costs like internet, email and website fees.
Pride & Pages is a one-woman operation fighting to make it in a world that is increasingly hostile to small-business, especially LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. Your support of this fundraiser helps ensure the continued operation of 12 weekly and monthly newsletters celebrating queer literature across genres.
-
Support LGBTQ+ Authors
Your sponsorship covers 100% of the author cost to promote a new book release or book deal during Pride Month. Every $10 raised fully covers the cost of one promotional listing in a Pride & Pages newsletter, allowing authors to reach a larger audience of readers specifically seeking out LGBTQ+ books.
LGBTQ+ indie authors are particularly impacted by economic downturns and ongoing boycotts of vending platforms. Your support allows a cost-free option for book promotion at a time when authors are operating on tight budget, especially with regard to advertising dollars.
-
Support Queer Books
Your sponsorship helps put LGBTQ+ books in the spotlight at a time when they are under attack politically. From algorithm de-prioritization to book bans in schools and public libraries, getting queer books seen is harder than ever.
Pride & Pages fights back by delivering newsletters to inboxes with no need for algorithms. The more LGBTQ+ books that are sold, the more we can demonstrate there is a strong demand to have these books on shelves, as well as paying LGBTQ+ authors the necessary income they need to keep creating future works.
