7 Hashtags You Need to Know if You Use Twitter and Write (or Read) LGBTQ Books


Are you looking for lesbian hashtags to promote your books on Twitter? Or perhaps you want to find the latest gay fiction?

I’ve put together a list of seven hashtags that you need to know if you write LGBTQ+ fiction and if you read queer books and want to find even more!

Most of these hashtags are associated with challenges or events but I’ve added a few bonus hashtags at the end that are far more general.
