Rainbow Book Fair 2023
10th Annual Rainbow Book Fair
The Rainbow Book fair is back! This year’s theme is “Weird & Queer.” There has always been a thin line between queerness and weirdness. After all, “queer” means not conforming to gender and sexual norms, but to be strange and odd. The book fair will be celebrating the ways that queer writing has transformed science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres, with panels and readings showcasing the best in weird queerness (or queer weirdness!).

ABOUT RAINBOW BOOK FAIR
The Rainbow Book Fair (RBF) is the largest and most unique LGBTQ+ book event in the United States. At RBF, the people who read, write, publish, and sell our books are taken seriously, but are embraced with a lot of queer humor and love.
The last RBF was in 2019, but the Rainbow Book Fair took a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. But we’re back, for our readers, writers, and especially for our wonderful exhibitors, who come from all over the country and places like London and Berlin to show their books to an enthusiastic audience of queer book lovers. Our books run the entire span of LGBTQ+ literature, from scholarly and serious to campy and zany, from books for young readers to “adult” books (and we are sure you know what they are!)
