Last year, our team got a little overwhelmed and our message about fundraising fell by the wayside. This year, we’ve added multiple ways to get involved! #transrightsreadathon #trr26 #booksky #transrightsarehumanrights

Psychedelic squiggles appear on all slides in multiple ombre tones. Text reads: Fundraising and the TRR. In addition to celebrating trans+ authors and stories, the readathon is a decentralized fundraiser. Here’s what we’re doing to encourage fundraising this year…

Text reads: Digital Prize Pool. Authors, publishers, and other digital creators have contributed to a prize pool for folks who “give where they live.” Those who run their own fundraisers or contribute to campaigns will be eligible to enter!

An envelope graphic appears in the middle of the page. Text reads: Digital Prize Pool (part 2). International entrants can win without worrying about shipping costs. The entry form and instructions will be made available toward the end of the readathon.

Trans Rights Readathon @trreadathon.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The Trans Rights Readathon is right around the corner. We've got some exciting new plans this year, and we're compiling some resources for indie authors. Many of them are still in the works and will be announced publicly throughout March. 🤍💗💙 #TRR26 #transrightsreadathon #indieauthors

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the image, are two graphics from artist PocketMilo. In one, a brown-skinned person with purple hair and a pink outfit, smiles while holding a potted houseplant. Opposite, a brown-skinned person with green hair and vitiligo gives a haircut to a light-skinned person with red hair and prominent top surgery scars. Text reads: Is Your Book a Good Fit? The Trans Rights Readathon encourages readers to seek out works by and/or about trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender non-conforming authors or main characters.

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. A graphic by artist PocketMilo appears at the bottom of the slide, and depicts two people embracing. Their faces are partially obscured. They are surrounded by lush vines. A trans pride flag is visible on the back of the nearer figure’s coat. Text reads: If So, You Should Know… We heard you last year when you said that you wanted more resources for the event. Which is why...

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the page, a graphic by artist PocketMilo shows two light-skinned people lying side-by-side in bed with their legs intertwined. One has visible top surgery scars, is wearing plaid shorts, and has fallen asleep while holding a book. The other wears baggy pants, socks, and a crop top, and is reading a book. Text reads: We’re Planning Something Big! If you’re interested in learning more, send an email with the subject line “Indie Author” to transreadathon@gmail.com, and we’ll forward the details to help you plan ahead.

Slide 4: Text Reads: March 31st International Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV). We’ve stressed the importance of utilizing our collective power since our inception, but it has never been more imperative that we are not frozen in fear or apathy, but fueled by the power of our community to stand up and fight back. We know the power of stories and narratives as readers and writers. Let’s ensure our narrative is boldly and proudly as trans folks and/or in unwavering support of all trans folks, always.

Image 1: cover of One of the Boys by Victoria Zeller over the words Trans Rights Readathon. The bottom text reads “TRR Author Interview."

Image 2: the top of a bubble reads “interview with Victoria Zeller”. Text in the bubble reads “Victoria Zeller (she/her) is a trans writer born and raised in Buffalo, New York. A former football player and lifelong fan, her initial focus was sports journalism before she made a sharp pivot to writing about queers who can’t stay out of trouble.”

Image 3: A “Q” or question: What made you want to write about Grace and her relationship with football? Then “A” or answer: I've always been fascinated by the fraught relationships that athletes can have with the sport they love, and as a trans woman with a long history in football, this was a story I felt uniquely equipped to tell.

Image 4: A “Q” or question: What do you hope readers take away from One of the Boys? Then “A” or answer: The trans community (and queer community more broadly) is not homogenous! Trans girls, especially, do not fit into the neat little boxes society like to stuff us in.
