Lowri Charles

When not reading and writing, I love crafting, roller derby, and spending time with my cats. I’m a fat-positive person, plus-sized, and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I enjoy slipping these little parts of myself into the books I write.

As someone on the asexual spectrum, it can be challenging to write about love and sex. Being both demi-sexual and demi-romantic means I don’t often develop feelings for another person unless I’ve found a deep connection with them. But by exploring the intricacies of love and relationships with my characters, I am learning how people fall in love. Because of my unique perspective and voice, I won the 2021 Good Sex Award – a body that rewards sex positivity, body diversity, and most importantly, consent – for fanfiction.
