Annie Laurie Holfelder is an asexual, aromantic, and agender author from the Pittsburgh area in Pennsylvania. Annie incorporates each piece of their identity into their writing, crafting compelling adventure stories about queer individuals who learn that love is more than chocolates and fuzzy feelings. As an individual with chronic illness, Annie incorporates disability representation into their characters, either designing characters with existing disabilities, or giving them realistic repercussions for the disasters that befall them in the course of the story. Annie loves to write hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, and friends to lovers stories. Their original stories feature little to no sex on screen and are safe for adults who would prefer not to read stories with that kind of spice. Annie Laurie’s stories are perfect for those looking for a good, old fashioned adventure in which the character’s queer/disabled identities are not the source of the angst, but rather simply part of them as a well-rounded individual.
