To the writers and readers in the sapphic literature community,
In light of the recent U.S. election results, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the feelings of disappointment and concern many of us are experiencing, not only in the U.S., but around the world. The outcome of this election has highlighted the ongoing challenges we face as a community, particularly in the realms of representation and rights for sapphic individuals.
We stand in solidarity with all those who feel marginalized and unheard. It is essential that we remain united, drawing strength from one another as we navigate these uncertain times. Our community has always been a source of resilience, and we must continue to uplift one another and advocate for our rights.
Looking ahead, we believe in the power of literature to heal and inspire. Our books are not just stories; they are lifelines, reflections of our experiences, and beacons of hope for many. We envision a future where sapphic literature continues to provide solace, understanding, and strength to those who seek it.
Let us commit to supporting each other, promoting our voices, and fostering a vibrant community that celebrates sapphic narratives. Together, we can create a space where everyone feels valued and empowered.
In solidarity and hope,
Anne Hagan
