Welcome to #ownvoices on the QSF Facebook group. Each week, we’ll feature a different group of writers who don’t always get the attention they should.
Today, we’re featuring authors who are bisexual and who write bi characters in speculative fiction. #ownvoices
If you’re a bi author, tell us about yourself, your experiences author, and the spec fic books you write (especially those with bi characters – with links, please).
If you’re not, you can still participate – share your favorite bisexual authors and their spec fic works that include bi characters.
Note: This is NOT a chat to list any work that includes a character who is bi. All linked titles should be written by bisexual authors.
Please treat each other with respect in this chat. If you see a post which doesn’t seem to fit the spirit of this #ownvoice chat, please let me or Angel Martinez or Ben Brock or Ryane Chatman know so we can contact them and gently let them know. :)
Since I was namechecked, I’ll briefly mention 2 things:
1) I’m celebrating the fifth anniversary year of publishing my anthology, Best Bi Short Stories, a groundbreaking collection of bisexual stories in multiple genres. Best Bi Short Stories was a Triple Finalist: Lammy Awards, Bisexual Book Awards & Rainbow Awards. BBSS has 8 great spec fic stories and 23 stories total. BBSS was the first short fiction bisexual/pansexual anthology in the world. And now there are two.

2) The Bisexual Book Awards submission period is currently open. If you published a spec fic novel in 2019 with a bi+, pansexual or fluid character/s or bisexual themes: now is the time to submit! You have until Dec 2. If you need an extension: you can request one.
