AN ANTHOLOGY OF QUEER, TRANS, FEMME, AND DISABLED STORIES OF ASEXUAL LOVE AND CONNECTION
Discover the infinite realms of asexual love across sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary stories.
From a wheelchair user racing to save her kidnapped girlfriend, and a little mermaid who loves her sisters more than suitors, to a slayer whose virgin blood keeps attracting monsters, the stories of this anthology are anything but conventional. Whether adventuring through space, investigating college campuses or surviving haunted cemeteries, no two aces are the same in 15 unique works that highlight asexual romance, aromantic love, and identities across the asexual spectrum.

praise
“Being Ace is an essential YA anthology. It’s a perfect palette that paints the richness of asexuality, in all its many shades and hues. This is the first anthology I’ve read that really gets what it means to be authentically, honestly ace. Fantastic!”
-Saundra Mitchell, bestselling editor of All Out, Out Now and Out There
"This compelling collection offers readers so many opportunities to feel seen and connect. A first purchase for all teen collections."
―SLJ, starred review ⭐
"Themes of grief, community expectations, resilience, self-esteem, and queer joy are woven throughout this anthology [...] readers hungry for intersectional ace (and frequently also aro) representation will be pleased to see a range of queer identities, racial backgrounds, and disabilities."
―Kirkus Reviews
