Sponsorships – ReadOut Festival

ReadOut 2023 Sponsorships

Would you like to support Readout and promote your business?

In 2022, ReadOut reached more than 1,000 virtual attendees. This year, we’ve gone HYBRID, onsite in (winter destination) Gulfport, Florida, and on Zoom from February 17 to 19, 2023.

Now in its sixth year, ReadOut is expanding to showcase LGBTQ authors from ROMANCE, MEMOIR, MYSTERY, POETRY, TRANSGENDER, YOUNG ADULT, SPECULATIVE FICTION, GRAPHIC NOVELS genres and more in readings, panels and workshops.

We have confirmed a list of award-winning authors for February including Radclyffe, Ann McMan, Georgia Beers, Sarah Prager, Elizabeth Sims, Gloria Munoz, Sheree Greer, Dafna Pleban, Cheryl Head, Jamison Green, Becky Bohan, Rob Sanders, Kristen Arnett and Sander Santiago – plus more than 75 other rising stars in this free community-building event.

Help us promote queer literature and authors at a time when it is more important than ever to tell stories for and about the lgbtq+ community.
