Welcome!

Well, hello there! This is The Queer Writer, a newsletter of curated content for LGBTQ+ readers and writers. It includes Queer Book Birthdays, a weekly announcement of the latest queer book publications (delivered on Tuesdays), and Weekly Reads, a weekly surprise of interesting article links (delivered on Saturdays).

I’m Milo Todd (he/him), writer, speaker, and instructor. I'm a Lambda Literary Fellow, a Massachusetts Cultural Council grantee, and co-EIC for the award-winning LGBTQ+ literary journal, Foglifter Journal. My debut novel, THE LILAC PEOPLE, is a New England Book Award Finalist, an Indie Next Pick, an Amazon Editor's Pick, an Apple Best of the Month Pick, and has received starred and/or glowing reviews from such places as Publishers Weekly, Foreword Reviews, Shelf Awareness, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, the Boston Globe, the LA Times, the Washington Post, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, WBUR, Electric Lit, and more. You can learn more here.

Why subscribe?

It's the only way to get Queer Book Birthdays and/or Weekly Reads! Every new post goes directly to your inbox.

When signing up for a subscription (paid or free), your email will be used only for notification and newsletter purposes and will not be shared with any third parties. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe option at the bottom of any email sent from The Queer Writer.

Why pay for a subscription?

While The Queer Writer is entirely free, a paid subscription of any tier provides financial support for my labor and helps offset operating costs. Paid subscriptions help me spend more time doing what I love and less time worrying about rent, healthcare, and other matters.

Can’t commit to a paid subscription? That’s okay! It’s also possible to leave a tip.

Not able to provide financial support? That’s okay, too! To support me for free, please sign up with a free subscription, spread the word about The Queer Writer, and/or encourage people to subscribe. Bonus if you also spread the word about my book, THE LILAC PEOPLE.
