About This Directory

This is an attempt to curate a directory of books that center queer, disabled and BIPOC experiences within the text itself by authors sharing the same experiences. It can include both fiction and non-fiction where these identities are meaningfully present and central to the narrative, themes, or subject matter. The goal is to create a space for discovering books that reflect all 3, Queer, Disabled & BIPOC.
