It's your story.

YOU decide when, how, where, and to whom to tell it.

When did you first see yourself in a book? Feeling represented and part of a community saves lives. For everyone who comes out today, and for everyone who may not have that opportunity, we see you. We want you to see yourself in our stories.

Our video is too long to post here (because we have so many wonderful authors involved!) so please check it out on Instagram or the Facebook page. Listen to our voices, so we can continue to use them.

I value my right to write sapphic literature that uplifts and connects with the sapphic community as much as I love to read the works that have saved me and continue to inspire me. There’s a lot at stake. Our voices, our stories, our lives, our history.

I write stories I want to read, that I wish I had been able to find as a queer young adult. I read, I write, and I support sapphic and women-loving-women stories.

Become the books that are being erased, the stories that are being silenced.

Stitch them inside you. Smuggle them into the world.

Share and spread the Word.

This banned books week gender nonconforming characters are under attack like never before. Fight back! Read broadly sapphic books. My pronouns may be they/them, but it’s time for this community to identify as we/us!

Queer characters of color face extra scrutiny, and when complicated by things like immigration status or class struggle it’s an all out battle. We must fight for the right to tell full stories about whole people!

When things start going sideways, it's hard to know how to help. #BannedBooksWeek reminds us that our voices can be silenced at any time. Here are a few tips on how we can support authors and keep those voices loud and accessible. Representation matters. Always. 🫶

Banned but not erased.

28% of all books banned for LGBTQ+ representation feature a transgender and/or genderqueer character.

These stories matter.

They are trying to silence us, but we keep writing. Our history won’t be erased, our lives won’t be forgotten, our love will not be stopped.

Show your support by requesting that your library purchase these books and put holds on them. Buy from indie, small and mid-size publishers. Support organizations working to support queer literature.

Any other ideas? Add them below!

It's #InternationalLesbianDay during #BannedBooksWeek. All my books have at least 1 lesbian main character.
I'm proud to write stories about women falling ridiculously in love with one another. Bringing joy to the world is why I write these stories. You can't ban queer joy. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Queer books aren't the only books being targeted by book bans. The stigma on neurodivergence and mental health, as well as outright ableism often shape attempts at censorship. Representation matters!
