Worlds Without End Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenge

2026 LGBTQ+ Speculative Fiction Reading Challenge

2026 LGBTQ+ Speculative Fiction Reading Challenge

The 2026 LGBTQ+ Speculative Fiction Reading Challenge seeks to promote diversity and expand horizons amongst readers and writers of speculative fiction.

Read and review books that either:

  1. Are written by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer authors,
  2. Explore LGBTQ+ themes, or
  3. Feature LGBTQ+ characters.

Author repeats are admissible.

Remember that we have the LGBTQ Speculative Fiction Resource List here on WWEnd. It is our own resource for finding great LGBTQ+ books. The books on the list primarily feature Lambda Literary and (now defunct) Gaylactic Spectrum Award winners and nominees.
