Description

Discover the infinite realms of asexual love across sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary stories

From a wheelchair user racing to save her kidnapped girlfriend and a little mermaid who loves her sisters more than suitors, to a slayer whose virgin blood keeps attracting monsters, the stories of this anthology are anything but conventional. Whether adventuring through space, outsmarting a vengeful water spirit, or surviving haunted cemeteries, no two aces are the same in these 14 unique works that highlight asexual romance, aromantic love, and identities across the asexual spectrum.
Madeline Dyer is a novelist, poet, and anthologist. She is the editor of the Being Ace anthology and co-editor of the Unbound anthology. She is also the author of the Aces in Love series (written as Elin Annalise). She has a herd of Shetland ponies, loves anything ghostly, and can frequently be found exploring wild places. At least one notebook is known to follow her everywhere she goes.

"This compelling collection offers readers so many opportunities to feel seen and connect. A first purchase for all teen collections."
--SLJ, starred review

"Themes of grief, community expectations, resilience, self-esteem, and queer joy are woven throughout this anthology [...] readers hungry for intersectional ace (and frequently also aro) representation will be pleased to see a range of queer identities, racial backgrounds, and disabilities."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Dyer expertly delivers on the collection's premise of creating a variety of colorful, aspirational places to which queer and aroace readers might flock and find community, belonging, and representation."
--BCCB

"Being Ace is an essential YA anthology. It's a perfect palette that paints the richness of asexuality, in all its many shades and hues. This is the first anthology I've read that really gets what it means to be authentically, honestly ace. Fantastic!"
-Saundra Mitchell, bestselling editor of All Out, Out Now and Out There
