Soup Can Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm writing a YA novel with an asexual, aromantic, agender protagonist. I was wondering if anybody knew any good places to consider publishing it? I'm wanting to find publishers who would be particularly interested in asexuality or any LGBTQIA works.

Deebee Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 That's a good question. I don't think I've ever heard of anything like an asexually oriented publisher. I'd be fascinated to hear if anyone has any insight with this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soup Can Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I found a publisher a while ago that was specifically interested in asexual stories but I've been struggling to find them again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jea Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm afraid I don't have an answer to your question but I have a question to your question XD Is the protagonist also the narrator of the novel? I do research in queer narratology, this book might bring new elements to my work, so I'd be interested in hearing more about it :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheCat1219 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 You can always start publishing it on Wattpad. I've known authors who end up being discovered on Wattpad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soup Can Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 The story is told in first person present tense so the character is also the story's narrator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soup Can Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 These publishing houses all publish books with asexual protagonist, if anyone is interested: Creative Aces Publishing Harmony Ink Press Riptide Publishing Triton Books There are some other publishers that typically publish exclusively homosexual relationships but will publish homoromantic relationships even if one of the characters are asexual. I haven't included them here because they were irrelevant to my piece. I think self-publishing may be a good route too for novels with asexual/aromantic/non-binary characters.
