There have never been more new queer books coming out every week—but that doesn’t mean they’re easy to find. When I put together my round-up of new queer releases each month for Our Queerest Shelves, it requires a ton of research, including sifting through early reviews for any mentions of queerness, because that’s not always included in the book description.
Luckily for you, there is a way to keep track of upcoming queer books without making it a part-time job of queer book investigating, and that’s the New Release Index.
The New Release Index is a database of upcoming books, curated by Book Riot. I’m one of the curators, so you know I add a ton of queer books in!
It’s organized by release date, and you can filter by genre. You can also hit the LGBTQ+ Books toggle to filter by queer books. Because you can combine them, that means you can search just for, say, upcoming queer horror books.

Here’s how it works: scroll through the covers until you find one that catches your eye. Click on the cover for the book description, and then save the titles you’re interested in on your Watchlist.
The best part is that the New Release Index is included in your All Access subscription. For $6 a month, you not only get the New Release Index, but also all of Book Riot’s paid content.
