Sonora Reyes (They/Them/Their)



Lee Call

Sonora Reyes is the author of "The Broposal," their adult romance debut, and "The Golden Boy's Guide to Bipolar," the follow-up to their award winning Young Adult debut "The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School." Their fiction is full of queer and Latinx characters in a variety of genres, with current projects in both kidlit and adult categories. They live in Arizona in a multi-generational family home with a small pack of dogs who run the place. Outside of writing, Sonora loves dancing, singing karaoke and playing with their baby nephew.
