Starred reviews, public appearances, and beard/bicep progress.

Two starred reviews for Bad Boy

I’m wildly excited to announce that my forthcoming novel Bad Boy—a thriller about a trans man struggling to define his masculinity in a toxic, misogynistic world—has gotten starred reviews from both Kirkus and Booklist. Woo!

Public appearances

In 2017, I’ll be appearing at events to talk about my writing and gender transition. Detai

Quotes by Elliot Wake (?)

“For you, happiness is being with a man. For me, happiness is being among friends. Love takes many forms, Will Scarlet. If I must lie to the world to be true to my heart, then I'll lie. I'll cheat, I'll steal, and I'll do it with a smile. Love is the only higher power I answer to, and my love is no less for being chaste.”
― Elliot Wake, All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens throughout the Ages

“Sometimes, in a thunderstorm, a lance of white fire would spear down from heaven and split the stone heart of an ancient tree, a crack so deep it seemed to come from the core of the earth. You could feel the skin of the world tense against it.
Robin's kiss felt like that.”

“She's my north star. The shining light I look to when I don't know where I am. And I'm losing her. I'm losing you, and I don't know how to let you go.”
