Alex Harrow

Alex Harrow is a trans and non-binary author of queer science fiction and fantasy.

When not writing queerness with a chance of explosions, Alex is a high school English teacher, waging epic battles against comma splices, misused apostrophes, and anyone under the delusion that the singular ‘they’ is grammatically incorrect.

A German immigrant, Alex has always been drawn to language and stories. As a result, Alex’s first piece of writing may have been terrible Buffy The Vampire Slayer fanfic written on an electric typewriter.

Alex still vividly remembers reading his first novel with LGBTQ+ protagonists in his early twenties. He began to write when he realized the best guarantee to see more books with queer characters was to create them. Alex cares deeply about social justice and wants to see diverse characters, including LGBTQ+ protagonists, in more than the stereotypical coming out story with inevitably tragic endings.

Alex currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with three cats, one very dramatic lizard, and what couldn’t possibly be too many books.
