Lee Wind is an Author who write books about Gay, Queer, LGBTQ Plus, and being In the Life.
Lee Wind’s superpower is stories – true and fictional – that center marginalized kids and teens and celebrate their power to change the world. Closeted until his 20s, Lee writes the books that would have changed his life as a young Gay kid. His Master's Degree from Harvard didn’t include blueprints for a time machine to go back and tell these stories to himself, so Lee pays it forward with a popular blog with over 3 million page views (I’m Here. I’m Queer. What The Hell Do I Read?) and books for kids and teens.
His latest book for readers age 11 and up is the nonfiction “No Way, They Were Gay? Hidden Lives and Secret Loves”, honored as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection, and named to the Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Books of 2021 list.
With day jobs for the Independent Book Publishers Association (as their director of education and programs) and the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (as their official blogger), Lee’s superhero job is storytelling to empower readers to shine with their own light.
