Alexandra Fallgren (she/her) writes about messy queer teens in a chaotic, straight world. She is the author of the forthcoming novel I Don't Belong to You (Norton Young Readers, 2027). She holds an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University, and is a Lambda Literary Emerging Writers Retreat Fellow. 

When not living in imaginary worlds or working as a teen services librarian in Chicago, Alexandra plays cello and takes too many photos of her cats.
