Due to a scheduling conflict, Edward Underhill is no longer able to present at our book festival. We are working to fill this spot in the lineup.

Edward Underhill

Co-sponsored by the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library.

Queer and trans stories are not niche—they speak to universal experiences of love, identity, and belonging. Join author Edward Underhill as he presents his adult debut, The In-Between Bookstore, a heartfelt coming-of-age novel set in the small-town Midwest. Underhill will discuss writing from a millennial queer perspective and why he believes stories get better with a little mess.


EDWARD UNDERHILL grew up in the suburbs of Wisconsin, where he could not walk to anything, so he had to make up his own adventures. He studied music in college, spent several years living in very small apartments in New York, and currently resides in California with his partner and a talkative black cat. He is the author of The In-Between Bookstore, as well the YA novels Always the Almost, This Day Changes Everything, and In Case You Read This. His books have earned starred reviews, been named Indie Next selections and LibraryReads Top 10 picks, and been included on numerous “best of the year” lists, including from YALSA, School Library Journal, and Booklist
