J.P. Der Boghossian founded the Queer Armenian Library to address the lack of Armenian visibility in queer literature and the lack of queer visibility in Armenian literature. His current project is a first-of-its-kind essay collection from a Queer Armenian writer. His essays are featured in The Sun Isn’t Out Long Enough (Anamot Press) and Imagining and Seeing: Voices from the Armenian Diaspora (University of Texas Press). He hosts the podcast This Queer Book Saved My Life! interviewing LGBTQ guests about the queer books that saved their lives and discussing the book with the author. He is a founding board member of the International Armenian Literary Alliance. @jpderboghossian @thisqueerbook
