The New Wave in Lesbian Fiction

About Me

www.boldstrokesbooks.com
Founded by President Len Barot, Bold Strokes Books, is an award-winning leader in queer publishing.Bold Strokes Books offers diverse LGBTQ fiction and non-fiction that is entertaining, informative, provocative, at times transgressive, and always positive and affirming. We publish a full-spectrum of BSB category genre fiction including romance, action, adventure, mystery/intrigue, speculative fiction, and erotica. We publish novels and anthologies. Our goal is to bring the best of yesterday into the future—preserving the traditional elements of genre fiction while infusing our stories with a modern sensibility and focus. In addition, our general fiction lines, Bold Strokes Victory(Lesbian)and Liberty (GBTQ) Editions present works that explore the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer experience in its many forms, while telling strong, human stories with universal themes. At the heart of these works are empowering, meaningful stories that offer the reader both entertainment and affirmation of our queer identity. Our newest line, Bold Strokes Matinee Books, are sharp, satisfying, quality reads for anyone who wants to take some time out for pure entertainment. The focus is on excitement, sexual attraction, drama, and fun in a tightly written, engaging package.
At BSB, our editorial focus is on author development and in creating works that define the benchmarks in LGBTQ publishing. Our books are conventionally produced and distributed to markets throughout the world. With our diverse range of award-winning titles, BSB sets the benchmark in quality LGBTQ fiction.
