Trans and queer authors are expected to do what amounts to volunteer social work, right out of the gate. But did you know trans people, especially autistic trans people, statistically have a tough time getting paid?

If you really love trans folks, fund their emotional labor. Pay often & plenty. 😘

More about my books: I write queer middle grade ranging from soft contemporary magical realism to paranormal (with a horror in the works!) My latest book, The Beautiful Something Else, was awarded the Notable Social Studies Award, and was a finalist for the WA State Book Award & a Lamba Book Award.

Feel free to DM me for their email or resume! I've never met anyone who hits the sweet spot between being their level of capable, creative, and detail-oriented, and someone seriously needs to snap them up.
