Foreword

  • Summary

  • Welcome to Foreword, where we celebrate and explore young adult literature that reflects the diverse experiences of queer individuals. Each episode, we feature a different author, book, or collection of books that showcase a wide range of LGBTQ+ identities, including but not limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, and asexual. We also highlight the importance of representation and visibility for LGBTQ+ voices in young adult literature. We hope to provide a platform for meaningful conversations about LGBTQ+ literature, and to foster a sense of community.
