Dougie K Powell is an author, journalist and stand-up comedian. They write LGBTQIA+ romance stories, mainly for a young adult audience. Their goal is to create stories that are both empowering and relatable to their audience.


“I want to write the books that I wanted as a teenager and a young adult. We live in a diverse world and it’s important to reflect that in our work, particularly as queer authors. I feel Spectrum Books gets that.”


They have also dabbled in the world of non-fiction, having published articles

representation in gaming.
