Stop what you’re doing. Seriously. Put down the coffee, pause that "enemies to lovers" playlist, and give us two minutes of your time. If you’re an author of MM romance books, queer fiction, or any flavor of LGBTQ+ ebooks, your 2026 is about to get a whole lot more profitable.
We aren't here to play the same old corporate games. You know the ones, the big platforms that promise you the moon and then take a massive chunk of your hard-earned royalties just for the "privilege" of hosting your file. At Read with Pride, we’re doing things differently. We’re building a home for the community, by the community. And right now, we are looking for our first 25 pioneers.
If you are among the first 25 authors to sign up on our platform, we are waving goodbye to our platform fees for an entire year. You keep 96% of your royalties. The only thing you pay is the 4% card transaction fee. That’s it. No hidden "delivery fees" for digital files, no exclusive "jail" terms, just pure, unadulterated support for queer creators.
Why 96% Royalties is a Total Game Changer
Let’s talk numbers, because while we love a good "slow burn" plot, we don’t love a slow-burning bank account. Most major retailers take anywhere from 30% to 65% of your earnings. Think about that for a second. You spent months (maybe years) agonizing over every heartbeat, every "forced proximity" trope, and every spicy chapter, only for a trillion-dollar company to take the lion's share.
By joining Read with Pride as one of our first 25 authors, you are securing a year of maximum profit.
- 96% goes to you.
- 4% covers the payment processing.
- 0% goes to us.
For 365 days, we are your purely altruistic hype-machine. This is our way of saying thank you for helping us launch the ultimate destination for gay romance novels and queer fiction.
The 2026 Scene: Most Anticipated MM Romance Releases
We know what's trending. 2026 is already shaping up to be the year of the "redefined trope." Readers are scouring the internet for the most anticipated mm romance releases 2026, and they are looking for more than just a cover, they want an experience. They want a platform that understands why mm enemies to lovers books 2026 need to hit that perfect balance of tension and payoff.

Whether you write gay historical romance, MM fantasy, or gay contemporary romance, our readers are specifically looking for your voice. They aren’t browsing for household cleaners and accidentally finding a book; they are here for the stories that make their hearts race.
The Power of the Niche: Why LGBTQ+ Content & Publishing Needs a Home
The "big" sites are great for reach, but they are terrible for community. Have you ever tried to find a specific sub-genre like "gay spy romance" or "MM psychological thriller" on a site that also sells lawnmowers? It’s a nightmare.
Read with Pride is built on the idea that LGBTQ+ ebooks deserve their own spotlight. We are focusing on:
- MM romance books that break the mold.
- Steamy MM romance that doesn’t get shadow-banned.
- Heartfelt gay fiction that finds its way to the readers who need it most.
By signing up via the e-book seller dashboard, you are positioning yourself at the forefront of this movement. You aren't just selling a book; you’re building a brand on a site that actually cares if you succeed.
