Selling Books with GLBTQ Characters

Why can't you sell your "gay" book into the mainstream? Here are some thoughts on it.

Kensington publishes a lot of gay romances.

Romentics only publishes gay romances.

Seventh Window publishes them, too. (They did the historical THE PRICE OF TEMPTATION, for instance, with a fun cover www.priceoftemptation.com.)

Gay Men's Press is no more, FWIW.

So who publishes Chris Hunt now?

Gay Men's Press was bought by the Millivres Group, which has recently decided to stop publishing under any of their imprints (Diva Books, Milivres, Prowler Press, Zipper books, etc.)

I don't belive Hunt has published a book with them in some time.

Heretic Books also published at least one novel by Hunt in the mid 90s.

The latest date I find is for The Honey and the Sting, 1999. I hope this isn't his last. I love Chris Hunt.
