Hello readers! One of our core missions at YA Pride is to promote books that have been systematically pushed to the margins of queer young adult literature. Over the past days, the YA Pride team has been brainstorming ways to better promote Black writers of young adult literature and get their voices into the hands of readers. Today, we are publishing a spreadsheet of current and upcoming queer YA titles by Black authors that we will continue to update as future book deals are announced. In addition to author and title, our spreadsheet features the LGBTQIAP+ representation of the main character, the genre, the release date, and the link to the Goodreads synopsis. Our hope is that this information will allow readers to quickly find the rep or genre they are looking for. This spreadsheet will be a continuous work-in-progress, so we appreciate your support if you find any errors in listed representation, changed release dates, ect., and are happy to update as soon as possible after an error has been found. Now, let’s go show these authors some love! Happy reading!
