Sappho & Co. Editorial Services was founded with the dual passion for well-written stories and amplifying LGBTQ+ voices. We have chosen to focus on queer authors and stories because as queer individuals, we understand that 1) LGBTQ+ stories and voices have had a history of being misrepresented at best and criminalized at worst, and 2) that queer authors and works continue to be targeted and censored today. We also know that it is important to have pride in our identities, experiences, and history while embracing the philosophy of queer joy.
