ABOUT PROUD GEEK
Proud Geek is an queer online bookshop based in Birmingham, UK. There's no physical store (yet), but you kind find us online at www.proud-geek.co.uk, on socials at @ProudGeekStore or at local pop-up markets across the UK throughout the year.
We specialise in LGBTQ+ graphic novels but also sell a boatload of queer fiction, non-fiction and manga focusing on queer protagonists and narrative. Expect a lot of queer horror, fantasy and supernatural books, along with a handful of TTRPGs and queer cinema. From sapphic romance to trans superheroes, bisexual sci-fi and super gay graphic novels, we have you covered.
All our orders are sent out in plain packaging to make sure those who aren't out at home are kept safe and we use eco-friendly packaging to reduce waste as much as possible. To find out if we deliver to your country, check out our FAQ section HERE.​

A word from the owner:
"Trying to find queer representation in books was always a little tricky growing up. There wasn't that much queer representation in the media I was watching and little to none in the books I was reading - especially when it came to the nerdier side of things. Plus living in a small village didn't help.
Proud Geek was set up to help people living all over the country gain better access to queer stories. Physical bookshops are great, queer bookshops are even better, but not everyone has access to them - so it made sense to create an online bookshop that ships the stories you want to read direct to your door"
