Aspiring novelist. Hoping to carve out the books that I would have liked to read growing up: epic fantasy stories with queer heroines.

[Ana Wesley 🌹 🏳️‍🌈 @xAnaWesleyx]

So hyped to team up with agent @Haley_J_Casey of CMA!

She’s helped me envision a future where I can write the queer heroines I desperately wanted to read as a kid. I’m so grateful for her expertise, guidance, and courtesy!

Here’s to more #LGBT in #kidlit! 💖🏳️‍🌈💖

[Haley Casey (is here for updates) @Haley_J_Casey]

Overjoyed to share that I now rep @xAnaWesleyx and her upper-MG contemporary MS! About a girl navigating her first female crush alongside the pressure of being a teenager, this book is going to speak to so many young readers about growth, acceptance, and following your passion!

✨News✨

Last year I called off work and went on a minigolf binge, which (as is only logical) inspired a YA horror about queer kids employed at a Monster House-ish minigolf attraction

Flash forward-

I COULD NOT be more thrilled to be teaming up with @Awritesinger at @triadaus

[Ashley Reisinger @Awritesinger]

I am SO EXCITED to represent @kitkittery and their incredible YA horror! Each and every character stole my entire heart, and who doesn't need a horrifying, (fictional), minigolf course in their life?!

Looking so forward to the journey ahead! Welcome to #TeamTriada!

Happy #PrideMonth!

Some of our country's recent legislation has been scary, but...

I'm fighting for you.
I'm voting for you.
I'm holding you in my heart.

So much love for my #LGBTQ+ comrades.

Writers of the Future includes brilliant LGBT+ rep. We’ve seen inspiring change since the time of adversarial rhetoric by creator L. Ron Hubbard or judge Frank Herbert.

...Then in 2022, a week from Pride, you get an invite to an Orson Scott Card workshop and you're like, "Huh."

It's time for a new deal. The workload of storyboard artists is not sustainable and not compensated for. #StoryCraftUnite #NewDeal4Animation

“There's a lot of fake info telling that I ordered the Ukrainian army to surrender. So, listen here: I'm here. We are not putting our weapons down, we are going to protect our country. Our weapons are our truth, it's our country, our children & we will protect them.” 💯#Ukraine

Feb. 19 marks the 80th anniversary of FDR's Order 9066, which led to the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans including yours truly, then just 4 years old.

I spoke about my memories of that time with @kkOttesen for @wpmagazine. You can read it below. https://t.co/FHy37iQKul

📖 Classrooms have become the latest battleground for #LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S.

🇺🇸 Since the beginning of 2022, nearly a dozen bills have been proposed banning queer books and classroom materials.

So @MattWalshBlog's crew is trying to trick trans people into joining a fake documentary. His producers set up a whole front organization (@GenderUnityProj) and tried to recruit me into his next anti-trans documentary. Here's the wild story of how it went down (1/x):

[US Holocaust Museum @HolocaustMuseum]

1/ Maus has played a vital role in educating about the Holocaust through sharing detailed and personal experiences of victims and survivors. On the eve of International #HolocaustRemembranceDay, it is more important than ever for students to learn this history.

[Ana Wesley 🌹 🏳️‍🌈 @xAnaWesleyx]

Bonkers how many YA books I've read where being in the closet is treated as a “lie.”

You don’t owe your identity or sexuality to anyone. Nobody gets to be pissy with you because they didn't know sooner.

You owe no apologies. Come out when you’re ready. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

If you've ever questioned whether #LGBT education is important, you don't have to look very far for the answer.

Ignorance hurts youth the most.
