Out Now has a little something for everyone who enjoys stories with LGBTQ characters. The stories focus on young adults who are either coming into their own or figuring out where they fit. The genres and tropes run the gamut, and while not all of those are my cup of tea, they are short stories, which is a pretty good way to step out of my comfort zone and read a genre I wouldn't normally pick. It's also a good way to meet some new authors for my ever-growing to be read pile. Regardless of the genre, each short story does give a voice to a variety of sexual identities, including those who aren't sure what that identity is, and the overall theme of the book as a whole sends a good message. The stories are all short enough to make for quick bedtime reads or even a nice afternoon break. They range from funny to serious and everything in between, and the genres are everything from sci-fi to paranormal to contemporary, so there's no shortage of variety in these pages.

About the author

Saundra Mitchell has been a phone psychic, a car salesperson, a denture deliverer, and a layout waxer. The author of eighteen books for tweens and teens, Mitchell has written work that includes Edgar Award nominee Shadowed Summer, The Vespertine series, and Indiana Author Award Winner and Lambda Nominee All the Things We Do in the Dark, as well as the Camp Murderface series with Josh Berk. She is the editor of four anthologies: Defy the Dark, All Out, Out Now, and Out There.

Katherine Locke lives and writes in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she's ruled by her feline overlords and her addiction to chai lattes. Her day jobs always vary, but in the past, she's worked in nuclear weapons abolition activism, lead poisoning prevention and education, and food safety at a mushroom farm. She secretly believes most stories are fairy tales in disguise. She likes heroines with dirty mouths and heroes with boyish charm. Find her on Twitter @bibliogato!

Cam Montgomery (non-binary she/her) spends her time teaching dance to queer kids, bingeing anime, tending bar and writing romancey novels. Two of her YA novels—HOME AND AWAY and BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY—are available now. Having ditched LA, the transplant now lives in Seattle and has made a habit of complaining about the weather even though she secretly loves it.
