Donna Freitas has written more than twenty books, both fiction and nonfiction, for adults, children, and young adults. Among them are Consent: A Memoir of Unwanted Attention (Little, Brown), Sex and the Soul: Juggling Sexuality, Spirituality, Romance & Religion on College Campuses (Oxford University Press), and The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano (Viking/Penguin), which has been translated into 20 languages. Donna has spoken at over two hundred colleges and universities to discuss her nonfiction research, and she’s been a featured speaker at Q Christian Fellowship Conference and many other Christian and secular organizations. She has written for The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, and appeared on radio and television from NPR’s All Things Considered to CNN and The Today Show. She is currently faculty at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s MFA program in Creative Writing. Donna loves cooking, spending time with her friends, and eating. She and her husband split their time between Barcelona and Brooklyn.

“Donna writes about all the difficult things in life — accidents, illness, break-ups, abuse — in her signature incisive style using words to slash scenes into being, carving feelings out of vowels, and connecting us through what she calls ’the magic of writing…' Soulful and sparse, her prose cuts right to the core. I truly appreciate Donna’s candor, bravery, and openness in her latest fabulous read.” - Zibby Owens, author of Blank and Bookends; host of the podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books; CEO of Zibby Media

"A beautiful exploration of what it really means to find ourselves—and faith—when it seems like all hope is lost." -Amy Scher, HOW SHOULD WE IDENTIFY HER?

“Anyone who ever struggled with the longing for a faith they left behind will  be grateful for this radiantly wise memoir by Donna Freitas, who brings a piercing clarity and hard-won joy to her radically honest appraisal of the gifts and the burdens of belief.” - Carlene Bauer, author of Girls They Write Songs About

“Donna Freitas writes with a lucid, searching honesty.  Wishful Thinking is a colorful memoir of a Catholic childhood, and what came after… This is a book for anyone who wonders how--even long after one has left the religious tradition of one's origins--it continues to leave its imprint in surprising ways." - Rene Steinke, author of Friendswood

"Stefi and The Spanish Prince is a dreamy (and steamy!) escape to Barcelona, full of rich descriptions of the city's food, people, and culture. It'll leave you feeling hungry—for romance, and tapas." —Jordyn Taylor, award-winning author of The Paper Girl of Paris and The Revenge Game 

“A queer romantic subplot and tensions between Catalonia and the Madrid government add depth to this beatific romance.” —Publishers Weekly

“Readers will delight in the many romance tropes Freitas includes: tragic misunderstandings, awkward moments that endear lovers to each other, and vile exes who threaten to break up a blossoming romance. Spain, with its rich culture and summer heat, is fully developed as a setting thanks to the inclusion of details such as its Mediterranean beaches and the running of the bulls in Pamplona... A light, lovely read that leans heavily on genre truisms.” —Kirkus

"Debut author Karleigh Frisbie Brogan has written a remarkably assured memoir with Holding, an account of her addiction and recovery that reads like a beautiful mosaic of broken glass: sharp, painful, and filled with glints of light... The quality of Brogan's prose and her deep understanding of her addiction and her own human condition make Holding a standout among similarly themed memoirs."

Shelf Awareness Gives HOLDING a Starred Review

"The book goes beyond conversations about PTSD to focus on “post-traumatic growth”—or how survivors discover sexual agency despite and because of the violence they’ve endured. It offers survivors like myself a manual of helpful suggestions, a fascinating window into a range of survivors’ sex lives, and a deep dive into the sexual challenges Simon faced. Ultimately, though, what Tell Me What You Like offers is hope . . . It invites us to imagine sexual safety and pleasure together."

Katie Simon Interviews Erika Lust for Playboy Magazine

"For their book, Tell Me What You Like: An Honest Discussion of Sex and Intimacy After Sexual Assault, Katie Simon wanted to understand how a person continues to heal after being assaulted. Ultimately, Katie concluded that for our sex lives to grow, we must both recognize our triggers and our turn-ons. That’s why the book covers topics that include boundaries, panic, consent, regret, kink, false beliefs, breakups, and aftercare. A nonbinary survivor themself, Katie wrote Tell Me What You Like for all survivors across the sexuality and gender spectrum."

The Queer Love Project Interviews Katie Simon About TELL ME WHAT YOU LIKE

"Simon’s treatment of this difficult subject is frank, broadly accepting of diverse reactions, and forthrightly sex-positive, asserting that survivors can and should expect to recover a gratifying sex life.

Rebecca Boyle’s OUR MOON (Random House) has won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the science and technology category. In her acceptance speech, she said: “The moon, my subject, does remind us that there are cycles. Inherent in the meaning of a cycle or a phase is a return. Things go away and they come back. Fascism went away and now is back. Authoritarianism went away, we thought, and now it is back. But there’s a flip side to that. Every phase that leaves brings something new. There’s also hope and renewal. And I think part of our job — the most important job we have as writers — is to remind us of the positive phases, the return of good, the return of new cycles and hope.”

OUR MOON Wins LA Times Book Prize
