I think we should have a thread where we can recommend asexual books to each other. what do you think?

[Emily Ann]

Well I haven't found a good ace book to recommend, but that sounds good!

[Vivian]

Aren't the majority of Asexual books self-published?

[Emily Ann]

yeah, but I tried reading two of them and just stopped because of the writing style

Nope, not all. T.J. Klune's books are produced by Dreamspinner Press: The Lightning-Struck Heart (which features an asexual character) and How To Be A Normal Person in which both protagonists are ace (homoromantics).

Most, if not all the books, in the Asexuals in Fiction and Asexuality in YA Fiction lists are produced either by independent or mainstream presses.

Most ace books are self or indie published, but that doesn't mean they can't be good. It's just, ace is not a very mainstream identity, so there's very little big press stuff that mentions it.

One I can think of is 'radio silence' by alice osman, which uses the word demisexual and is from like, harper collins I think. Bigger press

anyway, here's a list I always go back to for ace/aro book recs: http://aroaessidhe.tumblr.com/aroaceb...

...Also I'm still logged onto my author account. I'm an ace author with two books out! Dreamspinner is my press (or the YA imprint, Harmony Ink), they have a few ace books. My most recent one was self published.

I'm a little tricky about self pub books myself, but there's good ones out there. You need to be able to poke around and accept failure, y'know?
