58 Must-Read Sapphic Books by Trans and Nonbinary Authors

June 14, 2023 by Danika Ellis

In March, I put together a list of sapphic books by trans and nonbinary authors for the Trans Rights Readathon, but we don’t need a readathon to read trans books! For each of these, I tried to verify that the author publicly identifies as trans or nonbinary, but if I’ve made a mistake, please letRead More

The 9 Books of Sappho and Other Queer Lit Lost in the Fire

June 9, 2023 by Danika Ellis
