Author
Mira Chen writes sapphic romance with tender hearts and happy endings, telling love stories between women that span every subgenre imaginable. A queer author who devoured every scrap of lesbian representation she could find growing up—mostly tragic—Mira now writes the joyful queer love stories she wished had existed.
Her protagonists are women and nonbinary people discovering their sexuality, coming out, or simply living their queer lives and happening to find love along the way. Mira writes first loves and late-in-life discoveries, butch-femme dynamics and couples who defy categorization, stories set in accepting communities and stories navigating still-difficult spaces. Her romances feature the specific details of sapphic life: the U-Haul jokes with genuine affection, the processing conversations, the found family of queer community.
Known for her authentic queer representation, romances that span from sweet to steamy, and the unwavering commitment to happy endings for her LGBTQ+ characters, Mira creates stories that make readers feel seen. She writes from Portland, surrounded by the queer community that inspires her work and shows up in every chosen family she creates.
