Black lesbian (and bi, queer, trans, and non-binary) fiction authors you should know

There’s been some hand-wringing lately in the white lesbian literary community about racism in our midst. Stop wringing your hands. You’ll chafe, and it won’t make any difference. Take action. Maybe buy and read books written by Black (writers of the African diaspora) lesbian (and bi, queer, trans, and non-binary) authors. Here’s a list of authors who have published at least one book of fiction (novel or collection of their own short stories) to get you started.

Note: This list was crowdsourced and focuses on those writing fiction with at least one published book or dedicated short story collection. If you feel you don’t belong on this list, please comment on this article, and I’ll remove you. If you want to be added to this list, please comment on this article, and I’ll consider adding you. No assumptions should be made about any of these people beyond what is written on their respective web pages.
