Meet Jen

Jen Wilde (she/they) is the queer, disabled author of YA novels QUEENS OF GEEK, THE BRIGHTSIDERS, GOING OFF SCRIPT, and THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS. Her debut Middle Grade, PAIGE NOT FOUND, is out now.

They write unapologetically queer stories about unlikely heroes, awkward romantics and chosen families. Jen’s books have been praised in Teen Vogue, Buzzfeed, Autostraddle, Vulture and Bustle. Their debut, QUEENS OF GEEK, made the 2018 Rainbow Book List and the Amelia Bloomer List. Her latest novel, PAIGE NOT FOUND, was a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection.

Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Jen lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her wife, where she collects books, candles and foster cats. When she isn’t writing books, Jen rambles about sapphic culture on her blog; Stacks & Spoons.
