Sofia (she/her) was 17 years old when she was published with Shout Mouse Press. She is a Mexican-American high school student from Maryland. This is her first published book. In her free time, Sofia likes to play flag football and watch Hamilton. When she graduates, Sofia would like to pursue a career in politics, hoping to serve as an elected official advancing social justice, especially racial justice, queer and women’s rights. Sofia hopes that, after reading her pieces, readers feel welcome and free to express themselves however they want.
Available for preorder. Product will ship in June.
By the young writers of Shout Mouse Press
Young people from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum came together to explore what love looks like to them, in all its iterations. This anthology was dreamed as a response to book bans nationwide targeting literature featuring LGBTQIA+ characters and themes, and the related silencing of these voices and conversations. With the help of local queer teaching artists, young writers and artists responded to that call through poetry, prose, comics, art, and more. Their work shows us the love that they find everywhere: in their friends and family, their communities, and bubbling through their brilliant selves.
This project was created in partnership with The DC Center for the LGBT Community, Sasha Bruce Youthwork, SMYAL, and Split This Rock.
