I made a commitment to uplifting voices this year, and one way that I can do that is by highlighting authors from marginalized communities and promoting diverse reads. I’ve created this series to feature different authors and my favorite books from their catalogues.

This time I am featuring Timothy Janovsky.

About the author:

Timothy Janovsky is a queer, multidisciplinary storyteller based in DC. He is the USA Today bestselling author of The Merriest Misters, Never Been Kissed (Booklist starred review), You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince (AudioFile Earphones Award), and New Adult (2024 ALA Alex Award Nomination). He is an inaugural author for the launch of Harlequin’s new, inclusive spicy romance line Afterglow Books with his “playful yet heartfelt romp” (Publisher’s Weekly), The Fake Dating Game. His books have been featured in The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Vulture, Cosmopolitan, and many others.
