Trans stories by indie authors
Novels, novellas, and short stories (and the occasional comic) featuring trans characters (including non-binary and all terms under the umbrella), written by indie authors. All genres, but many lean erotic and/or horror 🔞
Recommendations welcome!

You want to read even more indie trans books? Fuck yeah! Might I recommend these curated lists by comic artist DarkChibiShadow (DCS) on itch.io? (These all focus on romantic and sexual pairings; if you're looking for non-romance/erotica, just give the "trans" tag a search over there!) 🔗this list of saturnic and enbian love 🔗this list of enbies and guys being gay together 🔗this list of enbies and gals being gay together 🔗this list of trans dudes in gay situations 🔗this list of trans dudes having fun with femmes 🔗this list of trans women in sexy situations 🔗this list of trans women with men and mascs
For those new to itch: Itch.io is an indie sales platform originally designed for indie games but has since broadened to host books and comics as well. A lot of these works aren't found on book tracking platforms like Pagebound or Goodreads since they are published non-traditionally (I know PB has a form for this now, but I also know that our librarians have lives outside of maintaining this database), so I wanted to provide the resource here as well!
Recommending Pluralities by Avi Silver, Of the Wild by E. Wambheim, Yours Celestially by Al Hess, and basically everything by Alex Nonymous! (Also, The Awakening of Lora Abernathy by MJ Anthony, if i can throw my own book into the ring!)
