I wanted to gather together a list of great YA queer books I’ve read of the very NON-smutty variety. And I figured, if I’m doing that, why not gather it here and share it with you too?

A few years ago, I wrote a Christmas Day update to "Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks." If you'd like to see how Cole spent his first midnight after the whole "hey, turns out I can teleport" thing? Here it be:

So, the whole of my #QueerYA writing are these four (so far):
"Leap," is a short story in the first, in the collection Boys of Summer; Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks was my first YA novel, "Hope Echoes" is a novella included in the tree-novella book Three Left Turns to Nowhere, and then the aforementioned Stuck With You, my hi-lo novel.
The wait is nearly over! Join us tomorrow for the release of ONE WORLD (Iamos Trilogy, Book 3) by Lyssa Chiavari, and get ready to binge read this epic #YASciFi series!
When I was a queerling, none of the queer young adult books out there were available to me. They existed—I didn’t know, no one was going to hand them to me—which always made me want to add queer YA to the world. It’s like time travel; I write the stories I wish I’d found.
I wouldn’t be able to do this if it hadn’t been for the queer writers of #QueerYA before me. And to the librarians and teachers out there fighting to put queer books into queer hands—thank you. You are changing lives.
