As promised, here is a list of bi+ writers, artists, and books. For the purpose of #BiWeek, we’re using the definition from BiNet USA:
Bisexual – A person whose enduring physical, romantic and/or emotional attraction is to other people of various sexes and/or gender identities. Individuals may experience this attraction in differing ways and degrees over their lifetime.
More definitions can be found here, as collected by activist and educator Robyn Ochs.
Bi+ is a community term; it is used here as a welcoming umbrella for all multi-gender attracted people. I use it as a political and uniting term for the purpose of activism, visibility, and gaining funding for our whole community. Within that, many people choose other multi-gender-attraction labels. People who identify as asexual but bi-, pan-, etc.-romantic are included as well.
This list is by no means exhaustive. These were simply the people gracious enough to respond to my call. Please feel free to share and add more in the comments. And of course, check out all the fantastic writing! We want to support all our talented bi+ folks.

That counts! It’s always good to have variety, and I want as many bi creatives represented as we can get! 😀 Added you to the list.
Hi there. I am a bisexual author and my werewolf novel, SILVER MOON, has a bi female protagonist.

You’re on the list, but I only had your website bookmarked, LOL. I’m adding the rest and changing the link to Recognize to the direct BRC link.
I’m a bi fiction writer and journalist! I love to see other bi writers. Represent and support! <3
Awesome! 😀
Oh! Thanks for including me! 🙂 And the list itself is a wonderful resource!
I identify as pan as a way to incorporate my gender fluidity into the whole deal. Not sure if I qualify for the list or not. 🙂 But I am attracted to men, women, and trans men and trans women.
Well, if you identify as something other than gay or straight, most of those fall under the big bi+ umbrella. So if you want to be listed, just share a link where we can find you! 🙂
Thank you for including me!
Absolutely! Anyone who wants to be included is welcome. 🙂
One of the leads in Caledonia is bi.
Send me a link, and I’ll add it!
I wonder if you’d include me? I’m a bi writer of sf and alleged humour, and my novel On Wings of PIty is a bisexual fantasy novel about incubi and succubi. Cheers!

I’d like to be added to the list. I’m a bi author of speculative romance (www.aldreaalien.com). My novel with a bi lead, In Pain and Blood, isn’t yet out, but I upload a chapter a month on wattpad (https://www.wattpad.com/story/43770351-in-pain-and-blood).
Awesome! I’m adding you to the list under authors. You can let me know when the full story is out, and I’ll add a link to that too.
Hi. I’m a bi poet (and legal scholar). My full-length poetry book, which has a bi persona, is called The Body’s Alphabet. It’s available through Amazon, Headmistress Press, http://www.anntweedy.com, Powell’s and a few other places. Thanks.
Awesome! Got you on the list. 🙂
