My writing includes a novel called The Girls Will Be Okay; short fiction, such as the story “Lyd, Not Lydia” in A Truth Universally Acknowledged: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, the story “Clothes That Fit” in Extraterrestrials: Another Autistic Trans Anthology, the story “Sonic Boom of My Heart” with Duck Prints Press, and the story “Gradual” in The Metaworker; poetry, such as my poems “Worthy,” “Re-learning,” and “Doctor Roulette” in FLARE Magazine and my poem “Things to Say to My Next Occupational Therapist” in Wishbone Words; and short nonfiction, including a myriad of articles and blog posts I’ve written over the years, in addition to a few pieces of creative nonfiction. My collection of works is ever expanding; expect more fiction in particular in the future.
As a queer writer of queer fiction, particularly queer fiction for teenagers, I am deeply concerned about the wave of book banning that the US has experienced in the past several years. I am a member of Authors Against Book Bans, and I encourage other writers to join the organization as well. Additionally, I encourage everyone in the US to oppose book bans; to take censorship seriously as an issue of both freedom and constitutional rights; and to contact elected representatives supporting the freedoms to write, publish, and read.
