Some trans science fiction and fantasy books. You can find my earlier recs for f/f science fiction and fantasy here.
Also I somehow totally blanked on this while making the powerpoint, but Charlie Jane Anders’ stuff should be in the last slide. Her two books are CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT and ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY. I’ll link to some of her short stories below the cut.
The queer SFF database’s tag for trans books is here. There’s more than I included in the rec post, so go knock yourself out!
I included the author identities because I figured people would want to know if the book was own voices. Disclaimer that gender is a weird nebulous thing and life isn’t easy or straightforward, so depending on when you’re reading this post (I’m writing 8/2/19), some of the authors I listed as cis might have had gender realizations. I literally saw this on Twitter this morning with one of the “more trans SFF” books, so figured it was worth saying.
Below the text cut you’ll find the titles and authors, links to my queer SFF database (which includes links to trans reviewers and content warnings), and some of my favorite SFF short stories by trans people.

Science fiction and fantasy books by Asian authors! Because not all SFF is by white men, and I want to shout about some awesome books by authors of color. I cannot stress enough that this is only a small sample of the books out there! I didn’t have nearly enough space to include all the marvelous Asian authors writing either in the English language or who have books translated into English.
Actually, speaking of translation, Ken Liu (whose short story collection is above) does a lot of work translating Chinese science fiction into English. Also, Clarkesworld is particularly good about publishing translated stories from China.
Obviously, most of the authors featured here have more than one book! I was sticking to one book per author so that I can fit as many people in as possible.
You can add more authors in the reblogs and replies! However, please only suggest Asian authors, not white authors writing Asian characters.
If you like this post, I have another that’s for queer SFF by authors of color.
Below the cut you will find:
- A list of all the books included above with links to Goodreads
- A list of some free short stories you can read legally online
- Information on trigger warnings for some select titles

A sequel to my “adult fantasy books by authors that aren’t straight white men,” this time for sci-fi!
These are probably skewed more towards modern authors and books, but that’s because I tend to read newer stuff, not because only men or only white people wrote sci-fi in the past.
Authors and books below the cut, including links to Goodreads. I’m not providing trigger warnings (if I make the post too long Tumblr starts freaking out about it), but you can use the search function on Goodreads reviews to find more specifics.
