DEATH DEFIANT for Bi Book Awards
Donation protected
Hello! I'm Paige Reiring, author of Death Defiant , an independently published urban fantasy novel about a bisexual half-demon who can't die that is trying to prevent an inter-dimensional war.
LGBTQ people are rarely shown in roles that don't focus on their sexuality or coming out. With Death Defiant, I wanted to write an exciting fantasy novel with a bisexual main character whose sexuality did not define her. Now, I want to submit this book for the Bisexual Book Awards to help celebrate and bring attention to books with queer characters.
So that not just any book gets nominated, the Bi Writers Association asks authors to pay a $20 submission fee and mail a physical copy of the book to the association. That's only about $35. However, Death Defiant just got a new cover, but only in ebook form, and I'd love to send BWA a copy with the awesome new cover, which needs an additional $80 . That brings the costs of submission to $135. Money raised above that will cover the GoFundMe donation fees, keeping my website ad-free, and paying the rights to my domain name.
Please help get more books with LGBTQ characters noticed, and check out the past winners of the Bi Book Awards . Maybe next year will see Death Defiant as a winner!
