Though representation isn’t the end-all-be-all goal of equality, of course, it sure feels good to see nonbinary authors killing it in the literary scene. The fact that I had to narrow down this list at all is amazing. I’m sure 20 years ago you’d be hard-pressed to find even three mainstream nonbinary authors to put on a list like this. While bills against trans and gender-nonconforming folks proliferate across the country, these authors and their amazing works give us hope. So, here are eight books by nonbinary authors to support and enjoy on International Non-Binary People’s Day and beyond. (In addition, feel free to check out these anticipated books by trans and nonbinary authors coming out soon!)
