Definitely would advise checking on the content warnings for all of the above, depending on what tone you're feeling like reading at what time, but they're all phenomenal books, and have all had big impacts on my perception and understanding of gender possibilities 🩵

Seconding the recommendations I'm seeing below for The Woods All Black (Lee Mandelo) and pretty much anything by Andrew Joseph White. I'd also love to recommend The Scandalous Letters of V and J (Felicia Davin) which is a queer & trans historical fantasy epistolary romance (and one of my favorites!)

That’s the majority of my published work from this year - but you'd better believe I've got a lot of wonderful things coming your way in 2026! Up next, I'm guest editor for the 59th issue of Eye to the Telescope, collating speculative poetry around the theme of "Immortality."
