YA Novels Are Still Leaving Queer Girls Behind & It's Not OK
If you search "queer women young adult books" on Google, the top result is a book list compiled by Autostraddle. When I was a queer teenager, lists like these barely existed and when they did, they usually weren't in highly visible magazines and webs…
Teens still feel there aren’t enough queer girl books. “Despite the recent increase in the number of books published, the fact remains that every single time I speak to a group of teen readers, they tell me that they never see queer characters in books,” Robin Talley, the author of several YA books including Our Own Private Universe, tells Bustle. If there are so many more books about queer characters in the last decade, why aren’t they reaching the young adults who are looking for them?
