seeking citations for LGBTQIA+ book history bibliography

  • 1.  seeking citations for LGBTQIA+ book history bibliography

    Posted May 08, 2025 08:02 AM

    Hi friends --

    The Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing (SHARP) is compiling a bibliography on the LGBTQIA+ book history.

    If you have published something on LGBTQIA+ book history, or you know someone who has, please submit citations using this Google form: https://forms.gle/c1pkNBPbbyCFSfiX7. Click or tap if you trust this link." data-linkindex="1">https://forms.gle/c1pkNBPbbyCFSfiX7
    For SHARP's purposes, "book history" is defined as the history of authorship, reading, and publishing (ARP of SHARP!), as well as production (writing, illustration, editing, printing, design. binding, e-book production) and distribution (sales, libraries, etc.). It also encompasses related topics such as queer theory (related to books/literature), censorship, and banned books. There are no restrictions regarding date, place of publication, or language. 
      Regarding items for the bibliography, SHARP welcomes monographs, edited collections, dissertations, bibliographies, electronic resources/databases/digital projects, special journal issues, book chapters, individual journal articles, exhibition catalogs, blog posts, and zines.   
            The completed bibliography will be published this summer on the SHARP News site (https://sharpweb.org/sharpnews/category/bibliographies/). 
            I am a member of the bibliography committee -- feel free to get in touch (BAL19@psu.edu) if you have questions.
            Thanks for your help!
            Bernadette  :)
