These twelve stories showcase aromantic people breaking generational curses, finding acceptance, and protecting the vulnerable while highlighting the infinite ways people find connection and love without romance.
A high school matchmaker learns a lesson about love. A rebellious spaceship pilot defies his culture’s compulsory coupling. A boy magically transforms banned romance novels into living dragons. A teen immune to romance, and the zombie virus, fights to survive the apocalypse. Being Aro is full of stories throughout real and imagined worlds that cross genres and disrupt the status quo.
Madeline Dyer is a novelist, anthologist, poet, and literary academic drawn to dark and monstrous stories. Her debut anthology Being Ace (Page Street YA, 2023) received a starred review from School Library Journal and was named a 2024 Lammy Award Finalist at the Lambda Literary Awards, commemorating "outstanding LGBTQ+ literature from 2023." Her debut novel Untamed (Prizm Books, 2015) also won the 2015 SIBA award for Best Dystopian Novel.
Rosiee Thor writes stories for all ages, including young adult novels Tarnished Are the Stars and Fire Becomes Her, the picture book The Meaning of Pride, and tie-in novels for franchises like Life is Strange and Firefly. Their short fiction appears in anthologies like the Lambda Award-nominated Being Ace, and they are the editor of Why On Earth: An Alien Invasion Anthology and This is How We Roll: A Queer Anthology. Rosiee lives in Oregon with a dog, two cats, and an abundance of plants.
