IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD by Jonathan Parks-Ramage (June 2025)

Part climate thriller, part family drama, part takedown of Los Angeles’s uber wealthy, Parks-Ramage transports readers to the year 2044 as Mason and Yunho refuse to cancel their baby-shower even while a potentially apocalyptic disaster unfolds around them.

BEINGS by Ilana Masad (Sept 2025)

Betty and Barney Hill were the first Americans alien abductees. They claimed to have been taken aboard a spacecraft while driving in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, probed and tested, and then released with their memories foggy. BEINGS weaves together the true story of the Hill’s extraterrestrial experience with the lost letters of a fictionalized lesbian science fiction writer to create a novel open wide to the possibilities of fact, fiction, and fantasy.

THE BODYBUILDERS by Albertine Clark (Spring 2026)

Ada lives a solitary life. When she meets Atticus at their apartment complex’s swimming pool, she feels an intimate connection between them; they share a life in a way she can’t explain. Little by little, Ada becomes estranged from her every day life until she wakes up, far from reality, in a strange facility. When a person’s life, In the space between mind and body, is Inherently one of Isolation, are our connections with those around us merely projections of ourselves? And if not, where do they come from?

STATE OF DENIAL by Lindsay Zafir

AIDS denialism, which emerged in the early 1980s among the gay communities hit hardest by the pandemic - and ultimately spread across the globe - signalized a profound transformation in our relationship to scientific authority, with far-reaching ramifications. Unearthing the spread of this denialist movement through careful archival research, Zafir traces a compelling, untold history and a makes a compelling argument for how the failures of the US government have fostered our modern climate of distrust.

SPAWNING SEASON by Joseph Osmundson

In this braided memoir about building a queer family, Osmundson examines queer life through a scientific and literary lens. He writes about his evolving thoughts on the ethics of having children during climate change and amidst rising global fascism and about the struggles inherent to queer baby-making. He teases out these ethical and practical questions while documenting his own queer family building journey that ended not in the baby he’d planned to have with two lesbian friends, but with the acceptance that caring for a queer community is its own kind of parenting.
