"As a [[queer]] person, I want to build books that have worlds where queerness is allowed and it's part of people's communities. I don't want to keep on having those conversations of, like, 'Why do you use they/them [[pronouns]]? What does that mean?' I just want to read a world where they/them pronouns exist and it's fine."<ref name="kirkus-26jun2019">{{cite web|last1=Evans |first1=Kristen |title=Sarah Gailey |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/features/sarah-gailey-2/ |magazine=Kirkus Reviews |accessdate=September 9, 2019 |date=June 26, 2019 | "As a [[queer]] person, I want to build books that have worlds where queerness is allowed and it's part of people's communities.

"This might be corny of me, but I tend to think of gender and sexuality as a journey, not a destination. The ways in which queer people define and express ourselves change based on what language we have available, what we believe to be possible, and how safe we feel. I want to make space in my writing and in my life for fluidity and change; claiming an identity should feel freeing, not constrictive. By writing about that fluidity and discovery and uncertainty, I hope to show readers that there's a place for them in the world, even if they're not sure yet who they are or how much they're ready to talk about it."<ref name="Stufflebeam">{{Cite web |title=Queer Futures: An interview with Sarah Gailey, author of Upright Women Wanted |last=Stufflebeam |first=Bonnie Jo |work=Medium |date=April 6, 2020 |access-date=March 24, 2021 |url= https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/queer-futures-f7c369e7603c | "This might be corny of me, but I tend to think of gender and sexuality as a journey, not a destination.
