I loved creating a book full of queer icons, some are well known and some are ones you may not have heard about but are ICONIC! Did you know there is over 60 illustrated icons in Queer Power? 🌈 #YAauthortakeover pic.twitter.com/2gpoklZjt3

1/2 – Queer Power! took shape in 2020.The og UK publisher wanted to do a book around general icons, & I was like ‘how about we make it all about LGBTQIA+ icons in the community?’ and they were so down for it! #YAauthortakeover

2/2 – I then worked on the book through lockdown on 2020 and it came out in 2021 and thennnn we started speaking about the US edition and how we could do extra art and pages for the this version. Also, it’s paperback! I love that 🥹 #YAauthortakeover
