Casey McQuiston is an author of New Adult fiction with a fun, queer, rom-com point of view. Their debut novel, Red, White & Royal Blue, became a New York Times bestseller and a recipient of the 2020 Alex Award. They followed up with the publication of One Last Stop, a New York City subway-inspired romance. A Louisiana native, raised in a conservative, religious home, McQuiston uses their experience as inspiration to write stories that they would have wanted to read as a young, queer person to feel less isolated. Their newest book, I Kissed Shara Wheeler, is scheduled for a May 2022 release.
