MacKenzi Lee writes YA fiction that blends history with humor and puts queer characters front and center. Her breakout novel, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue (2017), won the Stonewall Book Award and became a New York Times bestseller by proving that an 18th-century road trip romance starring a bisexual aristocrat could find a huge, enthusiastic audience. The Montague Siblings series that grew from that first book remains her best-known work.
Beyond the Montague books, Lee has written YA novels for Marvel’s Rebels and Renegades line, exploring the backstories of Loki, Gamora, and the Winter Soldier. She has also published non-fiction, including Bygone Badass Broads, a collection of profiles of remarkable women from history. Her work consistently returns to the idea that the past was more diverse and more interesting than traditional narratives suggest, and she writes about it with energy and wit that keeps younger readers engaged.
