La industria editorial queer enfrenta presión por los esfuerzos de censura

Autores, agentes y editores reportan dificultades crecientes para producir y vender libros queer destinados a lectores jóvenes. Cinco años de desafíos en aumento han llevado a una reducción en las adquisiciones y una caída en las ventas. Un proyecto de ley nacional que apunta a temas transgénero avanzó recientemente en el Congreso.

Las editoriales han reducido la adquisición de libros con temáticas LGBTQ, según agentes y editores del sector. Las ventas de títulos diversos a escuelas y bibliotecas han caído a la mitad en algunas pequeñas editoriales enfocadas en este tipo de obras. Jason Low, de Lee & Low Books, señaló que incluso las portadas con arcoíris que no tienen relación con las banderas del orgullo están siendo omitidas en los pedidos.

Literary Hub has published a series of 13 reviews highlighting books by trans and queer authors that received no coverage in the New York Times Book Review from 2013 to 2022. The project, titled 'What Was Lost: A Queer Accounting of the NY Times Book Review, 2013-2022,' responds to the editorial tenure of Pamela Paul, who led the section during that period and later wrote an anti-trans essay. Organized by Sandy E. Allen and Maris Kreizman, the initiative aims to address gaps in literary criticism and foster discussion on representation.
