Wonderland Pride Spotlight 2026 Author FAQ

Thank you for your interest in my Wonderland Pride Spotlight project for 2026! I am as always excited to champion LGBTQ+ voices and stories with fantastic and much needed representation!

What is the WPS?

WPS is an event/project that I do every Pride month. Each day of pride I (and other participants) feature an author who is LGBTQ+ or writes books with LGBTQ+ rep. 

Does this cost money?

It is totally free to participate. I just want to share the love and champion marginalized voices. The only "cost" is a bit of your time to fill out the form and do the interview via email.

How does it work?

Every day, I (and other participants) will feature an indie author and their LGBTQ+ release[s]. They will be featured here on my blog, my Instagram, and my Bluesky. 

The posts will tag the author (if they are on that platform), include their cover images, hype the rep in the book[s] (if applicable), and my blog post will include a short interview if that author signed up for that. 

TDLR: It is a fun, themed way of getting free promo for indie authors

How do I sign up?

Fill out the Google form with your author information and keep an eye out for an email from me (readintowonderland@yahoo.com) if you are selected. 

When does the event run?

It is from June 1st to June 30th!

What is your policy on AI?

My platform is staunchly AI. As such, I am taking the utmost precaution to ensure everyone involved does not use it. Anyone seriously suspected or proven to use AI will be barred from participation and is ineligible for a feature on my platform.

Who can participate?

Any indie author who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community or includes LGBTQ+ rep in books. Priority will be given to LGBTQ+ authors and early sign-ups. Authors must also not use AI to write, create, or promote your books. You must have at least one published book by June 1st, 2026.

Anyone is welcome to be a poster if you are interested in uplifting others.

What do you need from authors?

I need all of the responses to the questions in the Google form, along with highly quality cover images of all of your LGBTQ+ releases. These can be added to the form or sent to me via email (readintowonderland@yahoo.com).

For a brief author interview, I will send those questions to you via email so I do not fight being called a bot by social media and to help keep things organized.
