"Fat and Queer is an incredible work, mixing various voices and experience so share a universal need: acceptance... This book will make you smile, will make you cry, make you want to wear a bikini in front of the mirror and love yourself, or to go down the street and march to be accepted how you are. It will make you happy, will make you angry, will give you hope and love and everything you need to take a step closer so self-love. I highly recommend this one."

Thanks for mentioning our book, FAT AND QUEER: AN ANTHOLOGY OF QUEER AND TRANS BODIES AND LIVES!

"This anthology should be required reading for everyone, readers and advocates and teachers alike. It’s illuminating and organized in such a way that there’s something for everyone to enjoy: poetry, essays, short stories. Topics range from a little bit of everything fat and queer people have to go through, from judgement to hard won acceptance, relationships with friends and family, and even sex and kinks."

"Wow. This is the book I never knew I needed. Fat and Queer is an intimate collection of personal stories and poems, an ode to fat and queer people all over the world. So many different writings and ways to express oneself came together in this book, all united in feeling of being both a fat and queer person. This book one hundred percent succeeded in its aim to empower and inspire self-love in all who read it and share this particular experience."

Thanks for including FAT AND QUEER: AN ANTHOLOGY OF QUEER AND TRANS BODIES AND LIVES on this list!
