Ronnie Riley (they/them) is many things: fat, queer, trans, nonbinary, demisexual, lesbian, neurodivergent, disabled, Canadian. They’re an event coordinator who lives with their partner in Toronto, Ontario. They collect books, friends, and cats. They love ice cream any day of the year, birds with long legs, and messy reality TV.

Their queer contemporary middle grade debut, Jude Saves the World (Scholastic, 2023), was an Indies Introduce and an Indies Kids’ Next List pick. Asking for a Friend (Scholastic, 2024) is their sophomore book. They write books they wish they had as a kid.
