    Occupation author

    Anna-Marie McLemore is a Mexican-American author of young adult fiction magical realism, best known for their Stonewall Book Award-winning novel When the Moon Was Ours, as well as Wild Beauty and The Weight of Feathers.[2]

    McLemore has loved stories their entire life, although their dyslexia made reading difficult. They began writing in highschool and were encouraged by some of their teachers.[3]

    McLemore is a queer Latinx,[4] which they cite as one of the reasons why they write inclusive, queer, Latinx casts.[5][6] Their husband is transgender.[7] McLemore describes their work as inspired by the fairytales and stories they grew up with and their own background,[8] which is why many of their novels feature magical-realist themes, queer characters, and Spanish and French language.[9][10] They cite Laura Esquivel's novel Like Water for Chocolate as one of the reasons they started writing[11] and names Carla Trujillo, Malinda Lo, Isabel Allende, and Federico García Lorca as some of their influences.[12][13] McLemore was named a Lambda Literary Emerging Writer Fellow in 2011.[14]

    Their debut young adult novel, The Weight of Feathers, was published in 2015 by Thomas Dunne Books. It deals with themes of discrimination and marginalization[15] in a magical-realist story about black magic,[16] and includes a generational feud between Mexican-American and Romani rival families.[17] Their debut was chosen as a William C. Morris Debut Award Finalist in 2016[18] and received a starred review from Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.[19] It also was chosen for Young Adult Library Services Association's 2016 Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults list.[20]

    Their second novel, When the Moon Was Ours, a magical-realist fairytale about a transgender Pakistani-American boy and a cisgender queer Latina falling in love,[21] was published in 2016 by Thomas Dunne Books. It won the James Tiptree Jr. Award[22] in 2016 and the Stonewall Honor Award[23] in 2017. It was also named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus Reviews[24] and Booklist.[25] When the Moon Was Ours received starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews,[26] School Library Journal,[27] and Booklist.[25]

    McLemore's third novel, Wild Beauty, about a family of cursed women and magical gardens, was published in 2017 by Feiwel and Friends[28]. It again received three starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews,[29] School Library Journal,[30] and Booklist,[31] and was also named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus Reviews[32] and Booklist.[31] Wild Beauty was nominated for a Northern California Book Award in 2018.[33]

    Their fourth novel, Blanca & Roja, is a Latinx retelling of Swan Lake[34] and Snow White, about two sisters who fall in love with a boy who can turn into a bear and a nonbinary teen who can turn into a cygnet.[35] It was published by Feiwel and Friends in 2018. Blanca & Roja received starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews,[36] School Library Journal,[37] and Booklist[38] as well. School Library Journal named Blanca & Roja a best book of 2018.[39]

    Their fifth novel, Dark and Deepest Red, is a split-timeline story based on the fairytale The Red Shoes, set in 1518 Strasbourg and 2018. The book was published in January 2020.[40] It was while creating this novel that McLemore realised they are nonbinary.[41]

    Their sixth novel, Miss Meteor, is about two girls attempting to change their town's future while they participate in a talent competition. It's their first co-written novel, together with author Tehlor Kay Mejia, and will be published by HarperCollins in 2020.[42]

    Their novels have been translated into Turkish, Italian, and Spanish.[citation needed]

    They have also written several short stories and non-fiction essays for anthologies that were published with Ambush Books, Harlequin Teen, Candlewick Press, Simon Pulse, Soho Teen, and Algonquin Young Readers.[citation needed]
