Vivek Shraya – God Loves HairAn early collection of Shraya’s stories that draw from her own experiences to tell stories of diversity and life.Ĭasey Plett – A Safe Girl to LoveThese stories range from American cities to Canadian prairies while sharing the characters’ hard truths and joys. For simplicity in the list I’ve linked the author’s name to their website and then included one of the books that fits into that particular genre. In order to keep the list short and readable I made the arbitrary choices to only include writers who have published stand alone texts and have excluded academic or similar nonfiction. This is just my attempt to represent the diversity that can exist within a single author’s work.
The keen-eyed reader will notice that some authors appear in multiple genre categories. In creating this list I’ve tried to draw in a variety of authors of different levels of awareness in the public eye. If there’s someone who you want people to know of, I hope you’ll leave a comment below with their name. I want to be utterly clear on the point that this list is not at all a definitive list of trans authors but should rather be treated as a brief overview to help represent the astounding variety of work being done by trans authors (It’s almost as if we’re a diverse and varied group of folks and not a single monolithic identity. Rather than sitting here gnashing my teeth and wailing about the over focus on trans memoirs, I’ve put together a brief list to help readers find trans authors in the genres that they prefer.
