It’s Bisexual Awareness Week, and what better way to celebrate it than to talk about notable bisexual authors and recommend a few great books that feature bi characters?

Even in 2023, bi erasure is still alive and well. In fact, the experience of being bisexual typically comes with a lot of explaining to do – not only to straight people but also to many queer people. Unfortunately, it is still common for straights, gays, and lesbians to judge/perceive bisexuality as a “gateway path” or middle-ground label before someone fully comes out as gay or lesbian. This is a terrible thing considering that so many people ignore the completely possible chance that a person isn’t just into one gender.

This very real misrepresentation of bisexual people bleeds into everything: lack of mainstream representation, celebrities being afraid to identify as such, and such few movies, TV shows, and books about bi characters. The list goes on! But since we’re celebrating the B in LGBTQ+ this week, it’s time to recommend a few bisexual authors and books that do feature compelling bi characters.
