What are you reading for the Trans Rights Readathon?

I’m a trans woman who wrote Fractured Rune. It's a Queer industrial sci fantasy with Transfemme lead, broken reality, and weird magic.

Autistic authors like Elle McNicoll and Madeleine Ryan create authentic representation in books like A Kind of Spark and A Room Called Earth—showing neurodivergence as perspective, not limitation.
